Share your bantam crosses!

If they've got 5 toes those are silkies or silkie crosses! I know next to nothing about Banty breeds so I'm curious to know too. I see quite a few boys in there already though.

The breeder only had silkie hens no roo, so I'm thinking daddy is OEGB for this guy... I have 1 that has 5 toes on both feet.( U can see his 5 toes in the 1st pic.) His name is Joe Pesci, When he was hatched he looks so much like a silkie so white fluffy and adorable as you can see below But that changed quickly... Now he is probably one of the homeliest birds that I have (as you can also see below lol)

Bless his heart. It's crazy how fast they change. I have several that have the punky hair and five toes on one foot but they have a pea comb. ??? So it's a little exhausting trying to piece this puzzle together. Can't wait to see what they all look like full grown.

Hope I'm not too late to the party lol. Let's talk about bantam crosses..... I have 19 baby bantam crosses and they are all different. And I have no clue what is what and I've given up. They are 5 weeks and 7 weeks. The Cochin bantams are obvious but the coloring is odd. The Combs, the hair fluff, some have 5 toes, the feathered feet ... I give up guessing I can see some silkie and Sebright and OEGB.... But the breeder I got them from literally has ALL their bantams In 1 pen .... Along with 1 lavender Orpington. And yep you guessed it I have a lavender Orpington/bantam cross. maybe y'all can help me identify a few of these gorgeous babies.View attachment 3113574View attachment 3113575View attachment 3113578View attachment 3113579View attachment 3113581View attachment 3113600View attachment 3113598View attachment 3113606View attachment 3113612View attachment 3113584View attachment 3113596

Silkies can produce offspring with pea combs and offspring with rose combs.

Recent photo of my silkie cross roo named poultrygeist. Such a pretty boy and loves to snuggle.

And another one, on the left. We think it's a female but not 100 percent sure yet

I know this is an old post, but how on earth did the poor cochin bantam take a standard size Brahma! Poor girl must have been pancaked.

Loving the cross pictures.

Here are some of mine. All have the same silkie father. Mothers are wyandotte and polish.

No problem! He did, she was his favorite gal! Both are still alive, but the big man is with his own small flock of 5.

Mini pancakes, like at IHOP!
