What Breed are my Bantams?

[6chick*start]

I got these 3 as 1 day old Bantams.
They are 3 weeks today.

A silkie? Black legs and beak, 5 toes and getting ruffly.


Has sand on beak but it is all black. And is much creamier/buff colored than these pics.


Could this be a cochin? She is very tiny and is a bright yellow where the pics looks white.




This one I have no clue ...




I have a feeling only the tiny yellow and black one is a girl.
The fluff on the silkie's head seems narrowed already rather than rounded.

Thank you ...

Yep, I'd say that the first one is a Buff or Partridge Silkie.
The second one, probably a Cochin...
The third, maybe a Brahma??

As far as gender, Silkies are impossible to tell at 3 weeks. Wait til it's about 4-5 months -- then you can tell gender. The other two look like pullets so far, but then again they're only 3 weeks, so it could go either way right now.

But they're all very adorable.

buff silkie, probably mottled cochin and a dark brahma.

Hmm, then I am confused.
I thought Bantams breeds were all on the small side ??
Just looked up Brahmas and they are huge ... Up to 14 lbs!
It *is* the largest and most vocal of the 3.
How sure are you?
Thanks again

Brahmas do come in bantam from what I just looked up. A lot of breeds come in both standard and bantam.​

Looks like a bantam dark brahma to me. They definitely come in bantam.

Your cochin may be silver laced or mottled. I had one that looked like that that I was told was mottled, but he ended up being silver laced and quite beautiful. Possum got him unfortunately.
