Well...I know what they ain't! (Pic heavy)

Please help me identify these chicks. They came in a shipment of 300 straight runs and there were only about a dozen of these. I snagged five of them. They are a little over a week old in these pics. The size is large bantam or small LF. Also shown is their adoptive mother Nikki, my BSL. I feel that they are distinctive enough that a breeder should recognize them but I'VE never had anything like them! So, I could give you a long list of what they are NOT, but I need help on what they are or could be.

Thanks for your help, I think they are adorable and so does Nikki hen...

I've never seen any colored like that. They're interesting...I'm curious too.

Me, too... they are gorgeous!

I'd say golden campines or buttercups, probably golden campines.

I'm at a loss, but they're sooo pretty!!! You will have to update with a pic when they get bigger!

I'll tell you what they are: Darn Cute. I am in the same boat as you, I could tell you what they are not, And that list would be slim! Congrats they are WOW.

Here is a link to feathersite and if you scroll down to the bottom of this page there are pics of silver and gold campine chicks.

It looks like that's what you have, perhaps some of each color, and I think you may be able to sex them by pattern!

By George, I think you've got it! Kudos to Shelley and Meara! Of course, it looks like I picked all roos! I'm still excited though, I was wondering what kind of white egg layers to get, now if one or more will just turn out to be pullets...
