I did a google search (I thought I saw some last week) and there are archives for byc-ers who were selling bantam blr hatching eggs. Didn't see any chicks, though. You can pm them through the auction listing.

Thanks for the suggestions! I emailed a bunch of people who had them listed on here a while ago but no one had any now.

I saw some on ebay but was not thrilled with the color or type. I know there are nice ones out there somewhere! I saw Ruth B list some last fall but was not ready coopwise for that many chicks at the time. I will keep trying! I am persistant if nothing else! LOL!

What hatchery did you order them from? That would help us figure out what you have....I would guess that the ones with the chipmunk strips are BLRW or GLW, the light colored almost look like splash wyandottes...are they all rose combed?

I have 6 two week old Silver Laced Wyandottes Strait Run. What are some visual characteristics of a male bird?

I ordered them from our closest place thinking they were a hatchery, Purely Poultry, but they actually get there chicks from several other places so I doubt that will help, guess I won't know for sure until either Tyler gets back to me, or they grow in all there feathers.
As far as rose comb, I have no idea? how do I check what comb they have I don't see anything yet?? or am I missing something?
It would be awsum if I had BLRW they are so beautiful, actually to me they all are, I don't think theres a breed of chicken that I don't like how it looks, maybe the turkens naked necks ain't for me I love feathers and color, especially speckled, mottled Millie Fleur's? spelling? anyway that color is my favorite, Dalmations, appaloosa's, paints, ect anything spotted. LOL guess I was a polka dot in my past life. hehe. Ty all Kim

Those light creamy grey ones look EXACTLY like my columbian wyandottes I just got from McM.

The first two are the peeps at a few days old. They sent an extra so I am assuming its a roo, also one was paler grey and one was a little darker grey. The 3rd pic is at 4 weeks old and the 4th pic is at 5 weeks so if they start to feather out like this I'd say they are definitely CW's.

I am also wondering if one is going to be frizzled ,her wing feathers are starting to turn outwards.

OMG there absolutely adorable, even when feathering......I 'm glad to know what they are, did any of your babies have just the gray face mask? I have 2 with that at well.
I hate to see them grow up, but I can't wait to see what they will look like. TY so much Kim
