Yeah BBreds, but they're really really light. So far the lightest i have seen. Which rules out color quality.

By those pictures they need to hold their tails higher, the one on the left looks too big. Other than that though the seem.. Alright. They're young though, so the tail can and may come into play at maturity.

ya i wasnt completely sold on them and no like nothing about bantams and wanted someone or some peoples opinions and i dont think im going to make the purchase but thanks for your imput now knowing they are BB Reds the color is too light and im not going to chance a bad purchase

The reason the look too light is because they aren't black breasted reds, they appear to be ginger red hens. Possibly ginger red/bbred crossings.

They look like OEGBs to me. Not sure of exact breed of OEGB.
