I'm pretty good at knowing what is what in the bantam bin, but these two have me stumped. We choose them because of the golden heads with a blue stripe down the middle. The feathers are growing in differently, one with much more white. The darker one is also a good but smaller. They make some sounds that are different than any other chickens I've had over the years.
Can anyone ID these cuties breed for me?
Pardon the Turken in the way in the last pic.

@Rhodebar Lover check these out.

Whatever they are, looks like you've got a pair.
I don't even have an opinion on these 😟 I have absolutely no clue. The only think I can think of that's plausible is 1-some new mix the hatchery came up with, 2-an uncommon variety of Old English Game Bantam (Fawn Silver Duckwing??) big stretch but that's all I can come up with 3-single combed Easter Egger Bantam (not sure those even typically exist) 4-they're just uncharacteristically awful representations of a common variety. Maybe super bad Crele Old English Games??

They're gorgeous little chicks whatever they may be! Certainly keep us updated!

Identical legs, no feathers.
Here's a better look at their heads. The coloring is what drew our attention.

Seeing these make me think that they're both funky looking Crele OEGB cockerels. Or maybe a pair where the female has a head spot? I know with some autosexing breeds this ability goes away when not bred for. Maybe it could be the case?

Updates will happen in 2-3 weeks. I wondered about less well known colors of OEGB, but they're are so, so many colors of them! I've had Crele before, but not as babies. All the old English babies I've had were chipmunk striped except for red Pyle and self blue.
