I got 5 new chicks today from TSC from the "Assorted Bantam" bin. I was wondering what breed they were. A couple looked like Porcelain D'uccles to me, but I am definitely no expert in chicken breeds at this age. What do you guys think they are? There are 3 whiter ones and 2 darker ones. Thanks in advance! (All have feathered feet)

#1 and #2. I'm guessing these guys are Porcelain d'Uccles, albeit quite light.
#3. White Sultan? (if 5-toed)
#4. Golden Laced Cochin
#5. Black Cochin

Too cute! :love Enjoy. :)

Wow!!! Thanks. I just checked and #3 does have 5 toes and i never noticed that. What do white sultans look like? Also, I thought Cochins are those massive chickens...
Can I get a couple picture of what #3 #4 and #5 will look like when they are older?

Google has great photos. Cochins come in bantam.
 
The first two don't show any signs of cheek or beard poufs, at least not from this angle, so they are most likely Booted Bantams, possibly porcelain for the first one, but likely white on the second. The third, if id does indeed have five toes, is likely a Sultan, Look 'em up, as the standard fowl version is critically endangered and they're REALLY pretty!
If those are indeed feathered feet I see poking out from the side of the fourth, then I'd say Cochin on that one. If not, then it could be any number of chipmunk-faced bantams (all cute!) The last one is also a Cochin, likely black.
You got a nice bunch of babies! DD took her birds to our County Fair, last year, and her TSC Booted Bantam actually took first in a very large feather-footed pullet class - a really pretty biddie!
 
I've always wanted a couple polish chickens to come in a bantam size! Wow, I never herd of Sultans before. If anyone else has sultan chicks available, I would love to get a couple. I picked #1 and #2 out bc I was hoping they are Porcelain D'uccles, and at least one of them most likely is. But, I wish I picked out more white fluffy bearded ones! Man, I guess all I can do is name it a girl name and pray its a girl. I definitely want more of those eventually, and once I get 4-5 of those females I will get a roo. Then I can get some little Sultan babies. I am soo exited for that little one. Thanks guys!!!
