Need to know breeds of my hatchery chicks

I have to agree with the Self Blue Old English conclusion and the cochin...even though I think they may be partridge with poor patterning..... oh well.... however I wouldn't bet too much on the little red chick in the first pictures (he was the last pic) I had a mystery chick identical to him from cackle this year. I was praying for a EE or OEGB but I got a Production Red Rooster from Cackle. Likley a Cherry Egger , he made a fine pet but I had to re home him.....oh well.......hope your luckier than I was...........
 
Gold laced cochin bantams on Lunch and Dinner, which is why they are so big.

Breakfast is either a self blue or splash Old English Game bantam.

I don't know of any hatchery that sells sexed bantams, so most likely yours were in the 'pullet bin' because someone wasn't paying attention to which bin they took the babies out from.

Snack can't be OEGB with the yellow legs, s/he should have white/pink (flesh) legs for that color. Any idea which hatchery they came from? That would help narrow it down on Snack. Maybe a bantam leghorn?

Awww, what a cutie. Now that we have a clearer photo, I'm switching to OE too.
 
I'll have to check and find out what hatchery. I knew when I got them, but can't remember. I don't do hatchery! Yeah right. Saw thise cochins and was hoping that's what they were, but I second, third and twentith guess myself all the time.

Never thought of Banatm Leghorn and do they have bantam production birds???

I know the Cochins are GL. Not as nice as some breeder stock I've hatched out, but they are pretty.

Oh and I forgot about the no sexing on bantams. Since most of what I have I've hatched, I don't retain information I usually don't need, but I remember that now.

Hopefully I have some pullets, cause I have people interested if they are and I decide not to keep them. I'd rather hold on to my lined birds and feed then than feed something I'm not going to breed to, but I get attached, so who knows.
 
Two more of Snack. I think these are better.
