TSC Bantam mix - Breeds

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.

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....View attachment 4188169


Here she is Tuesday, at 12 weeks:

And her boy.....View attachment 4188171


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.View attachment 4188173View attachment 4188174



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 - šŸ™ƒ
Haha no worries at all!! What a gorgeous flock you've got! Thanks so much for sharing the pictures!

With much help from the people here, I think I've determined that my 4 bantam babies are an OEGB, a Golden Sebright, a Porcelain d'Uccle, and a Buff Cochin.

I've had them for 1 week today, and I'm thinking they'll be 2 weeks old on Monday or Tuesday. They're so cute, lol.

Day before yesterday I put them in a bigger brooder, so they've got more room now. They seem very happy and healthy. I'm amazed at how quickly they're growing.

Thank you again for sharing the pictures of yours, they're gorgeous, and I can't wait to see what mine look like as they grow.
