Mystery Office Bantams!

The black chicks look like Rosecomb bantams to me. My late Rosecomb looked like them when she was young.

EDIT: Never mind, I can see that two of them have single combs. Maybe the chick in photo number two is a Rosecomb though.
 
Update:
The mystery Office Bantams are about 4 weeks old now! And they've moved out to the coop with the flock. So far there haven't been any problems with integration. I've even seen them cuddling with the turkey poults in the sunshine!

I couldn't catch 3) White Beard, but it looks the same as No Beard as far as I can tell.
 
They're 8 1/2 weeks now! I don't think that they are bantams anymore because they are much too big (they're almost the size of my 15 week old bantam Cochin cockerel). They did start sharing the turkey's starter crumbles, so they could have gotten a growth boost from that. And I can no longer tell which black one was which chick, but they pretty much all look the same now. But I'm pretty confident that they are all pullets.

4) two of the black ones (with my California Grey peaking around the corner and two of my 5 week old EE's. And, yes, one is rumpless!)
