I posted these guys before, and didn't really get any answers, so, now that they've grown more, I'm wondering if anyone can figure them out? I'm thinking they're all three roosters, so, I'm not wondering about that much, I'm just wondering about their breeding. I got all three at Tractor Supply at the end of last month, so they're all around a month old.

All three are bantams.

This guy is very sweet, calm, loves to jump up & hang out on my shoulder.

This guy, someone suggested birchen cochin, but, I'm not seeing it. Plus, what's with the feathers on his cheeks?

And this guy, maybe a sebright cross? He has a sebright face, a pea comb, but the color? And slate legs? He's a mystery!

Thanks in advance!

1. no clue.
2. Pullet - looks like a mottled d'Uccle, more white should come in as it grows.
3. maybe a bantam americauna(easter egger). not really sure

A- looks like a black Hamburg (we have some babies right now and they look like that)

The others I'm not sure. The one with the feathered cheeks looks like an Auracana, but not with feathered legs.... maybe a cross breed?

The bottom one looks like an Auracana too. Especially the comb and feather colors.

Thanks for the input!

Here's what I do know:
#2 is definitely a pullet, found that out today. And I buy the d'Uccle thinking, that might be right.
#1 can't be a hamburg, she has a single comb & is a bantam.
#3 simply HAS to have some sebright somewhere, so I'll buy that he's a chamois. I didn't know they came in any colors other than gold & silver! So that's cool. I like sebrights, but for some reason have a hard time keeping them alive.

Thanks again!

Thanks! Will do! This group of chicks has been very easy to take care of compared to others in the past. They're mostly all sweet little guys. Aside from these three, there's also an RIR pullet, a barred rock pullet, a silver laced cochin cockeral, a white frizzle cockeral, a silver duckwing OEGB, probably a cockeral, and a gold laced cochin, which I *think* is a pullet. I love them all!
