Ok, I'm guilty. I finally broke down and bought 6 bantams from TSC yesterday
I thought the DBF was gonna kill me, but he didn't give me too much of a hard time
So, here they are. I have 2 of each. The first is obviously a silkie, (which is what suckered me into buying the banties in the first place!) but I was wondering if anyone had a guess as to what color she'll be? I'm assuming white, but I suppose there's a possibility for buff?
(The lighting makes her look a little lighter than she really is, she's actually a little more cream colored with a hint of grey here & there)
I'm assuming this is an EE of some sort.. Classic chipmunk markings. The other one that looks just like her is slightly smaller, but I think she just might be a little runty
And my only guess for the 2 that look like this is cochin.. Feathered shanks & toes, shanks are yellowish. I'm thinking these will be white cochin, as I've heard buff cochin chicks are almost orangey. Any thoughts?
Side note: Last week I came across the post for a homemade photo box for photographing chicks. Check it out here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=169003&p=1 Genius idea, Poulets De Cajun!!!
