We have 5 bantams and no clue what they are, can anyone help?

Where did you get them? Whichever hatchery or breeder it was can give you the best guesstimate. Many breeds look identical as chicks.

This following link might provide you with some ID's, as it shows both the adults of both genders and the chicks for every breed they have.

On an unrelated note, in both pics some chicks are holding their wings away from their sides, if they weren't snapped mid-preening then it may be a sign that they need less heat.

Best wishes.

It's hard to tell what they are from these pictures. Can you get a picture of each chick from the side instead? Also, do any of the chicks have feathered legs? That would narrow down the choices.

Yeah, we tried looking at cackle hatchery but were only able to determine that the one we lost this morning would have probably been a buff orpington bantam, we think we may have one barred rock bantam and a RIR bantam but our other two just didn't look like any of the bantams on cackle and we are positive that is where they came from. As for the heat situation we will look into it but I believe they have plenty of room to self regulate and are often seen under the heat lamp. We are uploading better pictures to post on here maybe that will make it easier. Thanks for all your help!

Yes, we are uploading pictures as we speak. I wanted the white one to be a silkie but i guess it will not be because they do not have feathered legs..
