TSC Bantams at almost 2 weeks

[hangin'witthepeeps]

Can't help you there, but mine were yellow(er) when young. They are now a nice slate color. They are small chickens compared to standards, I can see where they would be in the bantam bin.

They both stared out more yellow - just one is already a noticeable blue/green color and the other is still more yellow... I was looking at the 8 or 12 week pic and the roo has lighter more yellow legs - so here's to hoping, LOL.

Cute chicks. I'm not an expert on breeds, but wanted to say Polish don't have 5 toes.

You're right, that chick is a Mottled Houdan. Also, on the d'Uccles, you can tell when they are chicks if they are bearded or not. I think that some can be non-bearded. Or, they could be Booted Bantams, which look similar, but aren't bearded. In your picture, the one on the right looks like it might have a little muff going on under there.

Holy chicken batman!! A Houdan!?!?!

Is there a way to sex the d'Unccles? Or is it wait and see when they feather out?

My d'Uccles are 3 weeks old now and the little roos are just starting to get bigger combs that have a tinge of red to them. The girls combs are closer to the head and no pink/red.

I can't believe that all of you find the variety bantams at TSC!! All we get are your regular run of the mill Comets, RSL, and Black Austrolorps. Lucky, lucky, you!

on the 8 -12 week old pic the one in the back is a Welsummer Hen, just the one in the front is a Phoenix.

Ah, OK... maybe I still have a pullet and a roo.
