What Bantam Breed

[BlessedmamaAELE]

Now that maybe bantams have fully feathered out and are beautiful! I am not full convinced that they are either OEGB or Dutch Bantams. But maybe? Any ideas on breed? (Cockerel in back, pullet in front.) i also assume they are about 10 ish weeks old, but if anyone had a better guess on age? (I have had them for 6 1/2 weeks. Bought from TSC, and looked like little chipmunks.). Thanks so much

They are both cockerels. Silver Duckwing Dutch "with leakage".

I agree. Both are cockerels. They are silver ducking Dutch bantams with leakage. You can tell they have silver duckwing in them due to the color of their hackles and back feather, and wing feathers. The leakage is the red. They are dutch because of their leg and earlobe colors.

Thank you all! I was hoping the one was a pullet! It has a smaller waddle and comb, not as bright, s cheand acts totally different. And the one pictured alone (and in back.). Has actually started crowing. The other hasn’t. Is there Any hope that it could be a pullet? Or full on cockrel?

Also, I need educated on what leakage means. Does it just mean the leakage of the red feathers or that it could have another breed as well?

Leakage means leakage of colored feathers (usually red).

The other one is a cockerel because the red he is getting on his back and shoulders only happens on males

Silver Duckwing pattern has male/female specific patterns. Pullet would be a totally different pattern than these two boys. 0% chance either is a pullet.
