TSC mixed Bantams

[RodNTN]

Hi! We picked 4 Bantam chicks up from TSC a couple of hours ago, out of the Bantam bin. One had pasty butt (taken care of ). I'll post some pics in a little bit, just wanted to know what breeds TSC generally sells.

I thought for sure that these two chicks we picked out were Silkies, but I am really starting to think that they're not. They looked just like Buff Silkies, and they have feathered legs. But up close I noticed that their skin isn't black.

So, my question is- what breeds does TSC generally sell? Thanks in advance!

In my TSC bin there were bantam Cochin's, silkies and OEGB.

My TSC has not even been open a full year so I don't know really lol.

Thanks! I am thinking that the ones with feathered legs are Cochins, not 100% though

Another one is looking like a Silver Duckwing Old English game bantam...

They might be Cochins with the feathered legs. Silkies have a unique feather pattern growth as chicks that will distinguish them from smooth feathered breeds. Here's what my silkie chicks looked like

The one near me has sebrights and OEGs, but they can also have silkies and cochins and whatever else the hatchery tosses in there. Pictures would help.

I got a handful of silver duckwing OEGBs at mine. I wish I had known the trick to sexing them when I picked them out, though. I only have two pullets.

I must now research this trick you speak of.......

I want some but am not allowed a rooster.......

I got some recently too, looking for Silkies. I only got one, and the other three were a mystery. After posting here, I have discovered that mine are Porcelain D’Uccles. I was very happy with this. I will post pics below of my chick.

Cochins, D’Uccles, OEGB at mine

D’Uccles and Silkies at mine too.
