TSC Assorted Bantam Bin

[TheBurrowHomestead]

I got four sweet babies from the assorted bantam bin today. Any guesses on breeds? I’m thinking mostly OEGB, as they’re all clean legged, but correct me if I’m wrong!

The white spot on its head, if that’s truly the breed.. that is only a 70% accuracy rate. And then this chicks comb is spiked.. so could be a roo.

Spikes don’t mean anything… just that it’s a single combed breed…

Also these chicks are way too young to sex.

When I hatch single combed chicks, the ones who have small spikes like this end up being roosters.. is it just a coincidence?

 

[ShrekDawg]

Ooooh interesting. So we just won’t know yet? Or is there something to look for in the comb?

You won’t know until they’re older

Its also not barred. Likely BBR OEGB.

Red Pyle OEGB

Barred OEGB?

Yes, and I’m think that’s a roo.

Oooh, how would I know this soon??

So cool! Thank you! Good to know!! This is our first year with chickens. We did ducks last year and LOVE them, but wanted to branch out.
