Mystery Office Bantams!

[BellePoule]

Like many of us, while I was unaccompanied at TSC, I couldn't resist stopping by the chicks... Long story short, I now have 4 mystery bantams "hidden" in my home office. (They're not hidden well - in a bin under the window, in full sight. They're just surprisingly quiet.)
I'm curious about what breeds they could be! I think #1 could be a Golden Sebright, but I have no ideas as to what 2 thru 4 could be, except that they're all the same breed. Maybe.

#1 (working title: Why Not)

#2 (working title: No Beard)

#3 (working title: White Beard)

#4 (has the same wings, toes, and belly as #'s 2 & 3) (working title: The Professor)

Oh, and I think they were all a couple of days old when I took these pics yesterday (Thursday) after I got them on Wednesday. And they all seem to have single combs.

#1 probably is a gold Sebright chick, especially if it has a rose comb.
#2-4 I'm guessing are birchen Old English game bantams. The chicks seem too dark to be the black variety.

Thanks! But in all honesty there are plenty of folks in here that know as much or more than me.

Thanks! I couldn't resist the 3 little black ones, even if I had no idea what they'd turn out to be. And my brother-in-law has a dream of homemade bite sized pickled eggs!
I'll post updates as they mature!

Updates would be great. They are all very cute. Pickled banty eggs? Sounds like a trend waiting to happen!

We can get pickled quail eggs from the local farmers market, but they tend to sit too long in the pickle for him. I'm not up for raising quail just yet, so I thought I'd give bantys a try. Any excuse to get more chickens!

Yeah, I know that feeling. The more the merrier, right? If you can work out a good system to get the pickled eggs just right you may be on to something. I'd certainly buy them to try.

My sister has a recipe that he really likes. She just doesn't have access to bantam eggs. Her house is already a zoo, 3 kids + emergency fostering, 2 dogs, 3 snakes, fish, lizards, rats, and a cat. She nearly cried when her husband tried to suggest them getting bantams. So naturally I volunteered to get them.
