Hey guys! I got these cuties yesterday, I can't seem to find any chicks online that resemble them so I was wondering if y'all had any ideas?! I've never had bantams other than silkies but I couldn't pass up that tub full of tiny babies 🤣

What hatchery did you get them from?
 
I agree that the gray one looks like a Silver Sebright.

The other one might be a White Laced Red Cornish Bantam, although I wouldn't be sure of that until it grows enough feathers to see color/pattern, and the comb gets a bit bigger and easier to see (Cornish would have a pea comb.)

Of course bantam Easter Eggers come in many different colors, so they are always a possibility as well, if a chick doesn't match any other known breeds.
 
I don't have a guess as to what breed they are, but they are adorable. I can't wait to get my new bantam chicks this spring. I've never had bantams and I'm excited to add them to our chicken family. Love the pics. Thanks for posting.
 
Silver sebright and white laced red cornish bantam. Hoover doesn't offer either- some feed stores use multiple hatcheries. They might've come from Ideal which has both breeds.
