My New Bantam Babies

[Grindlefamily]

I got these two bantams today from a local lady - she said they were a mille fleur and old game hen mix - I am unsure how many generations they have been mixed, but these two are just beautiful.

The smallest one is the same size as my 3 week old EE chicks, but has lots more feathers, except on her head. The older one is a bit bigger and the lady said she was about full grown. Both were hatched out this spring, just not sure when. (there were babies there no bigger than my thumb - okay a little bigger but not much!)

Any guesses how old they are??

Does the one in front (on pic) have feathers on its legs, too? If it does, it may get the ear muff feathers later like my six did. Your's is recently feathered out and will grow twice in size.

Enjoy your new babies.

A wild guess would be 4 to 5 weeks old?..Anyhow they're adorable!

They both have feathers on their feet - they are a mille fleur and game hen cross - they are so cute!
