I have four new TSC assorted bantams I picked up tonight. Can anyone help identify breeds? I have no idea, really, on any of them. Two have feathered feet, and two don't. If there are only four toes, are we looking at cochins on the feather footers?

First pic is of the whole crew. The two in the back are the ones with feathered feet.

The yellow chick with feathered feet looks like a buff Cochin

The other feather footer a buff Brahma

The other 2 some varieties of Old English Game bantam

What type of combs do they have?
 
The first one might be a blue or splash Rosecomb

The 2nd possibly a buff laced Sebright

The 3rd pic confirms that it’s a buff Brahma

Sorry about the Cochin. Have you tried giving it sugar water and egg yolk if it is willing to eat?
 
If chick 2 has light grey feathers instead of buff my guess is that it is a Splash Rosecomb and that chick one is a Blue Rosecomb or a darker Splash Rosecomb

Chick 2 does indeed have very, very light gray feathers at the wingtip. The photos I've looked up of splash rosecomb and blue rosecomb bantams do look like my babies. Are these still considered OEGBs?

Poor cochin baby...ya did what ya could..might be something with the buff Cochins being weak, I once bought chicks and had to drive 40 min home with them, the other 2 chicks, a silver penciled Cochin and an EE did fine but not the buff Cochin. It’s too bad because they are so cute..like the buff Cochin I had that looked adorable every time it tilted it’s head extra to drink water.

I don’t think those 2 are OEGB since I don’t see single combs on them. It does look more like a splash Rosecomb bantam.
