Pidge & Midge. What are we?

[FeatherstoneFrm]

Here are Pidge and Midge. They are bantams from a random bin at TSC. They look a lot like a mini Saphire Gem or Saphire the Saphire Olive egger at the bottom. With those big round black eyes, they also look like pigeons.
They are the sweetest little girls and like to sit with me. At 14 weeks now they are still the tiniest of our small flock.
Any ideas?

They look so sweet and I love your collage, too!

If you might be thinking about raising some baby chicks in the future (like next summer), they are likely candidates to go broody once they have laid for a while!

That's great! My current layers, RIR and Australorp, are not interested in going broody.
They are very sweet. I have two adults, only 1 lays regularly currently, 1 rooster, and 11 14 week olds. 4 are bantams. I think 1 if the littles might be a rooster and I'm sad about that. (S)he is a partridge Cochin bantam and so pretty. I hope he gets along with Mr. Weasley. I'd hate to have to give him up

The white earlobes make me think that they’re blue Dutch bantams.

What hatchery are they from? TSC often goes throughout Hoovers which doesn't carry Dutch Bantams

They came from TSC but I don't know the Hatchery. I ordered 10 chicks from TSC and I know they came from Hoover's. They only sent 7 so went to the store and ended up with the 4 bantams
