TSC “Bantam” Chickens ID

[Namentuppen]

I just picked up these four “bantam” chicks from TSC, but I don’t know what breeds they are (besides knowing they’re not Silkies). Any ideas? They all have 4 toes and have feathered legs/feet.
Also, besides vent sexing, is there any reliable way to sex them when they’re this young? They were bought from a straight run and I really hope I have at least one hen.
Thanks!

There is no way to sex them at this age, bantams I believe it's dangerous(?) to vent sex them en mass at the factories or hatcheries they come from, thats why I believe they're almost always sold straight run at feed stores : D

I'd say you've probably got a group of four cochins!! Either that or one booted bantam and 3 cochins!

1. Buff Cochin Bantam (or a booted bantam (mille fluer then) can't really see the wings!)
2. Partridge (?) Cochin Bantam
3. Blue Cochin Bantam
4. Blue Cochin Bantam

We'll be able to help you out more for a more for sure ID when they're older, but for now that's going to be my personal guess : D Either way, congrats on the cute babies!!!

We need pics of them standing naturally to properly ID them.

The last two are blue Cochins. The first two I can't see well enough.

Personalities:

Pancake and Namentuppen are the sweetest. They don’t fuss too much. Pancake is the most food driven of the group. Namentuppen is the smallest and most shy. Loves food but won’t fight for it.

Sage is sweet but LOUD when she’s handled. Also loves food.

Buck is a wild one. Flaps his wings when handled and struggles the most out of the group. He’s got a good set of lungs too.
