What are these bantam chicks?

Must be a silver Sebright.

Here are the legs. I forgot to send it earlier.

Just checked the hatchery I think the feed store got their chicks from, and it looks like they do sell bantam Wyandottes. I was also looking into the sebrights, and the legs are supposed to be slate not orange? Idk.
 
The comb is not single, and that’s about all I can tell
Good pictures! I know it's hard to get nice comb photos little chicks!

That doesn't look like a rose comb to me.

Maybe a pea comb?
You might have a bantam Easter Egger there.

Brahmas have pea combs, but the clean legs rule out Brahmas.
I don't think Cornish Bantams or Sumatra Bantams come in that color.
That's about all the pea comb bantam breeds I can think of.

When it grows more feathers, the breed may become more obvious.
And the adult body shape will probably be helpful too.
But of course those require waiting, which is no fun ;)

Which hatchery do you think they came from?

Hatchery chicks do occasionally have the wrong leg color or the wrong comb type, but I agree that right now it doens't look the way a Sebright is supposed to look.

They came from ideal or Hoover, not sure which. I’m pretty sure they came from ideal since Hoover doesn’t have mottled OEGB or JB and the second chick is one of the two.to me it doesn’t look like a mini version of a sebright at all. It’s mostly a bunch of small details that add up, but together they just seem like too much. If the chick really were a sebright it would have to be the pinnacle of hatchery breed faults, and I get hatchery quality isn’t great, but I really don’t think it would be this bad. I do believe it’s a silver laced bird but that’s all I really have.

On Ideal's site, I see Easter Egger bantams.

I don't see Silver Laced Wyandotte bantams, but I do see Columbian Wyandotte bantams (who look somewhat similar as chicks.)

I guess we'll see as it grows!

I don’t have pictures of the chick in question, but definitely a columbian Wyandotte bantam. I suppose it was just a really dark chick lol.
