Question

[C C]

I have silver lace (females) and bantam chickens (males). Does anyone know what the babies chicks will look like? The silver lace just started laying eggs...

Those are definitely not silver laced coloring, they are barred. I don't think your bantams are males either. Show us more photos.

I'm with @SueT I don't see silver laced or any males going by the barring.

Those were the names I was told they were... if they are not silver lace, does anyone know what they are... all my chickens are dwarf... I call the others chickens feather feet haha... new chicken mama here, hopefully to be new chicken grandma

Your barred pullets look like Cochins to me. Because you don’t have any cockerels you don’t get to be a chicken grandma yet. Start eating those eggs!

Do you know what my hens are?

And omg I don’t know if I could eat the eggs

 

[CatWhisperer]

The eggs are so much better than grocery store eggs.

You could put some home grown eggs in a carton with some grocery store eggs, and see if some taste much better than the other.

Since you don’t have a male (at least not that you’ve posted a photo of), the eggs aren’t fertile and cannot produce babies. If you don’t want to eat them and don’t want to give them away, you can boil and crush them and feed them back to your girls. Eggs are an excellent high protein food for them.

If you want a male, look on your local Craig’s List. Search also for local poultry clubs. Some chicken addict out there will most likely be very pleased to present you with a bantam cock bird.
