Mystery Bantams from Orschlens

[CityChikn]

I was lucky enough to get 3 bantams from Orschlens today. They said they were about one week old. I think they come from Estes Hatchery. They're all feather footed. Any clues as to what breeds? I'm guessing either Buff Cochin, Partridge Cochin or

Millie Fleurs. (And hopefully hens - they were all straight run.) Any guesses as to what they are? (I'll plan to post an update once they're older.)

I love their coloring! Super rich!

Here is an updated photo. I'm wondering if the darker one looking straight at the camera (with the more pronounced crown) is a roo. (We're hoping for 3 hens.) Or if he is a roo, hopefully a quiet one. At this point I think they are all Mille Fleurs but not certain.

It is official - it's a he. My daughter decided to name him Bob!

Red Cochins. Their feather color will even out as they grow. You were lucky to get one rooster and two pullets from straight run!
