Please help. Bantam ID

Hello! We got some Mille fleur d'uccle chicks from Rural King the other day. We went back today, hoping to find more. And we did! I think some of these are also Mille but I just want to see what all kinds we ended up with and make sure i know what I'm talking about. We got 20 bantams total but just multiple that look the same as these. I'd appreciate the help in finding out exactly what I have. Thanks in advance!

1, 5 Porcelain D'Uccles

2, 4, 7 Partridge Cochin bantam chicks

3 Mille Fleur D'Uccle. I'd keep an eye on this chick as it does not look healthy. May just be too hot, so make sure the brooder has somewhere where the chicks can cool off.

6 Maybe a gold neck D'Uccle, or perhaps another Cochin bantam, white or buff. Difficult to tell for sure at this stage.

Thank you! I was hoping for a Porcelain! We had just gotten them home when I took these pictures. I figured 6 could be a few different types, but I'll post updates as she grows to see if I can find out exactly what it is!

That makes sense! Yes, #6 is the only one I have questions about, but pretty sure it is one of the varieties I listed.

Well either way, I can't wait to see her progression! I love the D'uccles so I'm really excited that I ended up with these!

I like them too. Glad you got a few of them! They are all very cute.

I love them all! I would love for a Gold neck, too! but Cochins are still cute, so... either way

Win/win, right? Partridge Cochins are particularly pretty, as are gold neck D'Uccles.

Exactly! I'm looking at pictures of them now. I've never really seen the Partridge Cochins before. They're definitely beautiful.
