TSC Bantams at almost 2 weeks

[mayberrygirl]

Thought they were Porcelain Belgian D'uccles but they have no muff beard coming in yet??

Think these 2 are Easter Eggers (one has green/blue tinted legs the other doesn't and no muff beard coming in yet)

Polish Cresteds - Black w/ White Crested & Silver Crested

and am very unsure still on this little booger - legs are a a tiny hint of green, no muff beard yet...

ETA: they were all from Privett Hatchery

I could be wrong, but ee's usually hatch with muffs.

The first two are Porcelain d'Uccles, mine are 3 weeks old now and don't have their beards yet...they come in later.

The first one might be an EE, not sure though, looks too skinny. EEs are usually fatter, fluffy chicks. Could they possibly be BBRed OEGBs or another color?

Polish...White Crested Black and Silver Laced

and my guess for the last one...possibly Buff OEGB

ETA: Blonde moment for me, I didn't even notice the 5 toes...Sorry! Nice find!! Wish our TSC had gotten something besides just Silkies!

Good to know about the Begins!! I was freaking, LOL.

On the BBReds - I found a pic and does look like them, but can they have blue/green legs & feet??

Off to e-mail Privett...

I got two Golden Phoenix hens that looked like your EE's from MPC pullet surprise special.

 

[mayberrygirl]

YES!! That is it - http://www.feathersite.com/Poultry/CGP/Phoen/BRKPhoenix.html almost at the bottom!! YAY!! I am so glad to know what they are!! Now I can get MORE!

Does Privett carry bantam Phoenix?

Our TSC had a lot of chicks that looked like yours last year and they all turned out to be Old English Games of some color.

 

[mayberrygirl]

No clue - I am waiting on them to tell me what I have. I called and she said to send her an e-mail with pics and she would get back to me.

Looks like Golden Phoenix, I like my hens, they are very chatty when the walk up to me. They are smallish birds like bantams even though they consider them standards. I thought the hatchery messed up when I got them, I didn't order bantams, but Phoenix are considered standards. Their eggs started out tiny and very pointy on one end. Now they have sized up to a silkie egg. Still not very big, but I love them. Here is a picture of mine.

4 weeks

8 or 12 weeks, I can't remember..

How odd - TSC had them in the bantam bin that is why I thought EEs, but when I looked it up and they all are bearded... Privett did tell me on the phone that the BBReds do not have green/blue legs, and looking at the Phoenix they deff do.

One has darker legs then the other (more yellowy??) I am wondering if this is an indicator of different sexes?
