Oh Lookie!! TSC Bantam Chicks -- What ARE They?????

[happybooker1]

I know the Silkies, but if you have any idea what color they might be I'd like to know. The Blacker one is not pure black but has some shading.

Our TSC orders from Privett Hatchery in case that helps. The other 3 I'm clueless on so any help would be appreciated.

This is a Gold Sexlink chick. Otherwise known as a cinnamon queen.


This is not a silkie. It has four toes, no crest, and yellow skin. My guess would be a Blue/Black/Splash Cochin.


This is definitely a Blue/Black/Splash silkie. See the crest, blue skin, and five toes? Those are silkie traits.


This is a white Cochin chick. It is not quite buff, but definitely not the color of a splash chick.


This lil fella is DEFINITELY a gold laced Cochin! SOO cute, too!

I hope this has helped you out. I know what it's like to wonder about what breed your chicks are, and that's why I, after getting chickens, studied every breed I could, and, for the most pat, know them like the back of my hand. But that doesn't guarantee that I am 100% right. If you would like take a look at Privett Hatchery's:

Gold Sexlink
Gold Laced Cochin
Black Cochin
White Cochin

They don't have any pics of a blue silkie, but you can look it up on the internet to see one. Congrats on you new babies! Have fun with em!

Is this chick a bantam?


Silkie.


Silkie.

Looks like either a cochin, or brahma.


I agree with Chickenfan4life. Definitely a gold laced cochin.

They are all Bantams. MUCH smaller than the 'regular' chicks they were in with. Reason I thought the blackish one was a Silkie is the Black beak. I know hatchery bantams are not the best bred in the world. I got a white Sultan from McMurray back in October. He does NOT have a beard and only 4 toes, but definitely a Sultan. You can see him on the roost in these pics:






Others in my flock of fall babies are: Black Cochin Frizzle, Dark Brahma, Splash and Black Silkies, and a dark Serama pullet.

Thanks for the help!! Like I said, with my luck (previously 10 out of 15 roo's) they'll all be roo's anyway.
