Changing my answer!!! I'm thinking #1 might be a brahma! I don't see a single comb on that chick : D
Chick 1: Buff Brahma
Chick 2: GL Cochin
Chick 3: Blue or SL Cochin (pics are still dark)
Chick 4: Blue Cochin.
Number 3 is blue. Thanks for the better pic!All of those are lovely! I’ll have to post more pictures when they’re less “downy” and have better feathering. Here is a brighter picture of Namentuppen (#3).

Ha! I used that for their first day because I knew the temperatures were correct (I usually use it for another creature who needs heat). I now have their box set up with the proper temperatures, though they may get moved back to the Critter-Nation when they get too big for their XL "Moving box".Haha! I'm not the only one to use the midwest critter/ferret nation cages as brooders

The Buff one is a Buff Brahma bantam. It's the only one with a pea comb. The rest are Cochin Bantams.Chicks #3 and #4 (Namentuppen and Buck)

I have rats! They lost one of their cage-mates a while back so they didn't need that large of a cage. The other quickly growing creature certainly did need the space though.I used to keep pet rats, so I had one on hand. We didn't have a extra dog crate, one of our dogs sleeps in his, and we got rid of our extra after our dog passed away. We had no other place to keep them, and we knew they would be inside for awhile (we got them, then started the coop building adventure!) so the critter nation kept them happy and with enough room for quite some time. Its a great brooder, lol.

I would get them again (I've had three "groups" over the years), but I'd get females again and I'd either go with good breeder rats or raise feeders from babies. The males I've gotten are too skittish and stinky for my taste.Awh, I hope to have them again
