Hey all, I got some chicks from the local pet store 6 weeks ago and am not sure what breed they are. They were picked out of the "assorted bantam" bin.

The black one looked a lot like a barred rock chick, but now is all black except for a few white feathers at the tips of the wings..
The buff/grey one was a totally grey chick. Body type seems to be an old english, but the coloring is very unique.

Here they are. Any ideas?









 
I going to guess that the black is a japenses and the other is and old english game cockeral
 
I have a pair of black OEGB's. Someone thought Black Dutch but the more I read about them I decided they weren't. Yesterday, I sent my photos to a former breeder/shower of Black OEGB and he emailed me back (I was so excited he answered!! LOL!) to say they were the black OEGB hatchery quality. Hatchery is ok with me. My little rooster is so great! He hasn't been handled but he has started jumping up on my arm or in my lap and settles right down like he belongs there. Mine have brilliant blue ears. Check yours. Here are the two pics of mine...they are 6 weeks old.

Thanks for the responses everyone!
The black one does look a lot like the black OEGB pics posted, but the ears are not blue.
I noticed that a few people made reference to the blue quail game chicken as being a male. Are you fairly confident that is the case? We were thinking it was but were really hoping it was just "gender confused."
