New feed store chicks!! Still need ID help please!!

[erin0415]

I went to the feed store to get chicken feed, and lo and behold...they had chicks!! Of course I couldn't leave without a few. I got 2 bantams and 3 NN. Does anyone have any idea what breeds the 2 bantams might be??

Bantam #1

Bantam #2

Bantam #2 again

My 3 NNs

#2 looks like a buff Orpington bantam

#1 ? maybe blue Orpington? Not sure

those are cute NNs. Are they bantams?

The NNs are standard size. The 2 bantams were too cute to pass up. If they get picked on I'll put them with my silkies. The majority of my chickens are standard. Might need to make a bantam coop.

I would say orpingtons too. They are the cutest things!!

I wish our feed store would get bantams!

Yeah if they are Orpingtons it woulf be likely they might get picked on. If you build a bantam coop you need to get more bantams

Well, I would be happy with orpingtons. Always sweet birds. My last ones got eaten by a bobcat, but we haven't had a problem in quite a while.

The gray chick looks like pics of blue orpingtons that I saw, but I'm not sure about the yellow one. The standard BO chick I had before was a uniform yellow color all over. This one is almost white with darker yellow markings on it. I can't tell looking at pictures online if the buff orpingtons are like that or if they are solid. What have your experiences been??

all yellow, but you never know. I just cant figure what else it could be. It looks kinda chunkt too so I thought Orp

Now that you mentioned it,,,,,,,,Maybe it will be white,,,,I dont know very much about genetics, but I think in the white there can be a silver gene or a gold gene and if yours had a gold gene it may be a white chicken when it grows up
