TSC Bantam mix - Breeds

[Paradisewife]

Hi - been a while. Bought a flock of bantams from a hatchery, lost 4, (1 a day for 4 heart wrenching days). We had one more that we nursed, & nursed, finally she turned the corner and is now thriving - after 10 intense days, she weighed 20 grams. My orher half was in TSC, they had mixed bantams. He chose 6, hoping to make me feel better . Here they are. #2 & 3 we hope are Mille Fleurs d'uccles, (our itty bitty is a Porcelain d'uccle).

And the Possible d'uccles
And more mystery chicks:


Annnddd, I forgot which 2 I took pics of

The striped ones are probably games, I see a d'uccle, maybe a buff brahma, can't see the comb type, and not sure on the black one, hard to see the comb type.

Thanks - which do you think is the Brama, #3? I can get better pics. * Brahma

That's the one. Can't sed if it has cheek muffs or not, and the comb type. If single it's probably another d'uccle.

Thank you - we're actually hoping it is - I'll post in a few weeks, when (if) we have gender questions, and when I get better pics of the black one.

Ok - the little black one's face

Any other guesses on #3 & #6?

3 is a d’Uccle. 6 might be old English

Your bantams are so precious! We also purchased 4 TSC bantams on Saturday. 2 of ours look like 2 of yours, numbers 1 and 2. These are actually my first chicks, so breed guessing is totally new to me.

I did think maybe old english game for my striped one, as some folks here have said. I've posted a few pictures of mine, but here's the one I took right after we got them, to share the similarities to yours.

How are yours looking now that they're a little older if you don't mind my asking?

Not at all!! You just gave another excuse to take pictures.
I do want to apologize- I saw your post on Tuesday - and did not intend to take so long to reply. I did get pictures!!!
In my first post, 1, 4, and 6 are OEG. 1 roo & 2 girls and they are TINY. The standard size hen-floofy-butt in the background is a 3 yr old Salmon Faverolles - these little guys are 10 wks in the photos. (They are eating yogurt)

Numbers 2 & 3 are female Mille Fleur d'uccles, and I'll pop in a pic of our 12 week MF d'uccle rooster.

The little black #5 chick is Barred

So those are the TSC group. We have another bantam flock from a hatchery - the 12 wk old group that has the Mille Fleur rooster. There are 2 Porcelain d'uccles in that group. They were supposed to both be female, but that boy had a red red comb at 3 weeks, and crowed at 5 and a half weeks. We almost lost the little female - she weighed 40.3 grams at 20 days....

Here she is Tuesday, at 12 weeks:

And her boy.....

The others in the hatchery bantam group, are 3 mottled cochins, a silver/gray Dorking, a white-crested black polish, and a green queen easter egger.

The Mille Fleurs do get more color as they get older, like the mottled cochins will get more white bottling.

We have 20 standard hens that are 3yrs and older, a 19week flock of 7 (2 of the 6 hens have begun laying), the ten 12wk bantams, the four 11wk Naked Necks, the six 10wk bantams, and the 7 Guineas. That's why it took me 3 days to respond -
