Tractor Supply Bantam assortment-no clue. Picture Heavy!

[Decaffeinated Mommy]

Ok, so my hubby surprises me today with 5 cute cheeping little bantams, and, being relatively new to actual BREEDS of chickens, I haven't got a clue. I poured over pictures on feathersite, google images and of course on the forum here, got to page 13 in the section and decided I'd just ask.

EDIT-I just found out that they came from Ideal Poultry

I think the one with the feathers on the legs may be a Buff Cochin, he has 4 toes ( I read that Silkies have 6). He is also a bit bigger then the others, but doesn't seem standard size. The striped ones I'm guessing BB Phoenix, and the last two I haven't the faintest. DH thought that the two blondes were the same breed, it was only when I was photographing them that I really saw the difference. So here we go:

The whole crew:

The feather legged one:

The little blondie:

The Twins:

The little black one:

He wouldn't hold still, so DH helped a little. I'm trying to show that his bum is yellow-ish, not the monster poop!

I know that some may be hard to figure out until they are older, but I thought I'd give it a shot now. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

(also, do you just use html image embed to show them on the board?)-figured that out thanks to CovenantCreek

im not sure but they are very cute the twins look like ee design but could also be other golden laced bantam too we will see

REALLY? Oh, boy am I excited about that! So I am guessing that all EEs don't look the same as chicks, but are different depending on the adult color pattern? Do you know what color pattern this means?

Yes I think the twins are EEs, they look alarmingly like the ones HorseFeathers used to have as her avatar. Even the expressions are the same!

The Blondie might be a buff orpington. i love buff orpingtons!

And yeah, the feather-leg one could be a buff cochin.

I have no idea about the black one though.

They are all so cute!

whoops, forgot this one!

Chookies-thanks for insight on the Blondie and thank you for the welcome!

Bock_Bock- that's so awesome! Thank you for the pictures! I am so excited and hoping that my hubby's remark "Knowing my luck I'll get all roosters" isn't true!

Does the black-ish beak and legs on the little black one point to anything?

CovenantCreek- thank you so much! That is SOOO much easier than what I was trying (obviously unsuccessfully) to do last night!

The one with feathers on the feet looks like a brahma - looks exactly like my chick. Very cute. One just makes me want another one and then another one and then another two...

 

[Decaffeinated Mommy]

Hens- you are so right! I went back to day, I just wanted one....but walked out with 3! One was a freebie, she has a deformed beak, I am hoping she will make it though.
