What is your guess on breeds? they are 5.5 weeks old



This is my little cockerel. He's a beautiful blue with red tips and a red head. He's TINY as you can see so I'm guessing he's a bantam. Guesses????



Then there's this guy. I 'm pretty sure he's a cockerel too...he's quite feisty. He has small cheek puffs, a crooked comb, and 5 toes.

top one looks like a blue breasted red oegb and the 2nd im not sure on and yes both are cockerels

I was thinking OEG, too. He's so tiny but runs up to the other roosters (who are 5x his size) and chases them....spirited little man. he is by far my most handsome cockerel

if free ranging he should be a good flock protector

"cheek puffs" and five toes? I'm guessing a Salmon Favorolle mix.

well i wouldn't exactly call them muffs...they're barely visible. hoping they'll become more noticeable...until then I call them his cheek puffs. is the crooked comb just a genetic defect? what else besides faverolle does he look like he's mixed with?

Here's a much better pic of cockerel #1

the little guy looks like a OEGB, the 2nd one looks like a Cuckoo Marans crossed with a Faverolle.

I LOVE my OEGB rooster, he protects all his girls so well, finds them little treats, he is great with them! My silver laced Wyandotte rooster is terrified of him, I hope it stays that way, the size difference is extraordinary!! They are tough little birds, that's for sure! You will enjoy him!
