I picked up six bantam chicks this evening. I can only somewhat identify three of them. I an especially curious about the two with black pinstripes and speckles on their backs. He they are.
This one has feathered feet. Cochin? If so, what color?

This is the first of the two chicks that have speckles on their backs. It is clean legged:

I suspect the one below might be a mille fleur d'uccle.(I hope so, on my wish list). Feathered feet. It was a bit droopy when I first got it home, but it's doing better now that its warmed up. I got two of these:

Next is a chipmunk striped baby with clean orange feet. No idea what it is:

Here's the second speckled chick. Looks like it was pecked a couple of times, but it's doing fine:

Here's the second feather footed mille fleur d'uccle looking baby. Is that what they are?

Yes you are right with the Mille Fleur d'Uccles. The spotted ones you are right also, Silver sebrights. First is a red cochin. The chipmunk one I can't tell if it is a Black breasted red OEGB or an easter egger. Does it have a single comb?
I struggled with the silver sebrights because folks don't typically show pics of their backs. Having zero experience with them, I didn't think they had mottling. I'm thrilled about the d'uccles and cochin, what I was aiming for when I picked them out.

On the chipmunk striper, I have no idea what the comb type is. I'm posting a pic so you can tell me, lol. How the heck do you know when they are so tiny? Is there something to the shape of the bud? They all pretty much look the same to me, though I do see a tiny semblance of a single comb on a chick or two. Are the raised little oval thingies on either side of where the comb will be any indication?

So, I called Privett to see if they might have supplied TSC, and they confirmed they have not sent chicks to them since 2017. TSC has looked at the box and said they definitely have been getting babies from Hoover. Hoover doesn't sell bantam EEs, I suppose that makes the chipmunk an OEGB? They also do not sell rosecomb chicks, which makes my light gray baby from last week an OEGB as well.
