What breed am I?

[Marebear89]

So I have two 3 week old bantams that are black and a lavender gray that I thought were orpingtons but now I'm not sure. Any guesses?

1. Bacon Bits (my sweet little dude)

2. Stu (my little shy girl)

I'm thinking either Japanese or old english, but I'm not too sure. Both have black legs though.

Both are Rosecomb bantams. From the pictures I can't say if they are the blue or black variety. You're correct on their sexes.

Agreed, again! Rosecomb bantams are a beautiful breed, good luck with them!

They sure are!

They sure are!

The black ones are what really do it for me. The bright red comb, with a big white earlobe against a jet black body is perfection. We don't get to see them very often here, which is a blessing in disguise, but I would definitely like to see them more often

Thanks everyone!! I just hope my little guy stays sweet and doesn't get a napoleon complex lol. As soon as I realized he was a little roo he started getting extra cuddles and loves. He does think he's a big bird like his easter egger sisterspl
