These are supposed to be red sex link pullets. We bought them as 6 week olds 3.5 weeks ago. I've noticed that the lighter colored one (Annabelle) has a slightly larger and pinker comb than Cherry

And I'm going to assume that these chicks, whick are somewhere around 4 weeks old are cockerals? Guesses on the breed of the clean footed one?

The little ones are bantams. These are twice the size of my other two that are the same age

I think the one on the left with the nice head stripe is e+ based locus. Maybe a nice wildtype pullet? The one n the right, I think is some kind of Buff breed.
Best,
Karen

Could it still be a pullet even though its comb is picking up color? Should have added that the two younger ones are from tractor supply's bantam brooder. Not sure how much difference it makes
 
These look like what two of my little bantams from TSC looked like when they were younger. One turned out to be a Mille Fleur sort of D'Unccle and the other a Silver Duckwing Old English Game. Both of mine are hens. I am going by Storey's Illustrated Guide to Poultry Breeds.

page 139 top for the Old English
page 111-112 for the D'Uccle

Here are mine when they were younger.




Don't have any recent ones, might be able to take a few tomorrow.
 
I'm still new to this chicken thing.. I thought only Cochins and silkies had feathered feet. At first I thought that my feather footed ones were silkies but remembered that they have black feet. Always learning something new! I have two other chicks that I will try and get pictures of soon.
 
After looking at some pictures I really think the one is a Mille fluer... It looks a lot like them and it has a black band on its beak which I haven't really seen with other breeds
