I picked up two bantams from the feed store. They get their chicks from Ideal.

I think I know what one is, but the other? I made a list of the breeds of clean-legged bantams that Ideal has, if anyone could at least eliminate any options... They are 4 weeks old.

This one I believe is a Sicilian Buttercup -


Am I right? A Sicilian Buttercup?

This is the one I'm not sure on -
It's got white legs and I think a rosecomb.



The list of clean legged bantams Ideal has (after I eliminated ones I knew it wasn't):
Cornish
Dutch
Japanese
Modern
Old English
Ameraucana
Belgian d'Anver (Quail & Blue Quail)
Buff Orp
Sebright
Wyandotte

Can anyone at least cross off a possibility?

Thanks!
 
Thanks. The leg color on the second one is what's throwing me.... What about a Mille Fluer Old English? After uploading the pictures, I noticed little white tips on the feathers...

the white on milles doesnt come in until they are around 2.5-4 months...your chick doesnt have a straight comb which automatically eliminates any straight combed breed
 
That certainly limits the list of what it is! Thanks!

I just got her over the weekend, so I don't know what color the fluff was originally. Her back still has the greyish/bluish down, and there was more yellow down on her wings. She really feathered in fast over the weekend.

blue laced red wayndotte (again middle chick)

i hate ideals pics but until i find more better actual chick pics these are the best right now lol as far as leg color chick wise they look the same
 
I have a couple of the standard size 3 week old blue lace red chicks, and my mystery chick doesn't look like them. I'll post an upated picture in a few weeks, perhaps it will be clearer then. Thanks!
