TSC bantam breed help??

[chicksandchores]

I got four bantam chicks (that’s all they had left in store at the time) on March 2 and they looked to be around 3 days or so old at the time. I have looked EVERYWHERE to figure out what the breeds are, and the best I can figure is that the buff ones (I have two of each color pictured) are possibly buff Cochins, but I have no idea about the others! Any input is appreciated!

Red and buff bantam cochins.

Red and buff bantam cochins.

I agree about the buffs but it looks like the red has somethimg else in it

Looks like a male buff cochin and red female cochin possibly partridge.

Most red birds start out with some barring on their wing feathers initially which molt out as the chick grows.

I agree, buff and red Cochin. Yes the red Cochin has a silkie look to it but that sometimes happens with hatchery chicks, maybe deep in their ancestry but it would be no different if you ordered specific breed red Cochin.

Update!! My buffs have barring on them!

The one on the right looks like a rooster. Can't tell about the one on the left unless it is the same bird.
