Hi Guys,
I am a newbie and I have just got these beautiful chicks.
I am not sure what bred they are so I am hoping someone on here can help me out :)
Not very good photos of the last two - but best I have on my phone right now.
I think they may be crosses... but i have no idea LOL

I'd say Silkie/Bantam Cochin mixes. The light colored cockerel looks like he could be a pure Bantam Cochin.
 
So not a Pekin? I think that is what the lady mentioned...
Oh sorry - you must be from across the pond. I have a bad habit of not looking at location before answering.

Bantam Cochin = Pekin here. So yes, Pekin/Silkie mixes. The light colored one being a pure Pekin.

Ah ha! Thank you for that. I get so confused between Pekin, Silkie, Bantam, Cochin. I dont know the difference between them all. I will have to get on google!

And now I am even more confused, because either the Black Frizzle one or the Grey one has laid eggs and they are blue in colour.....
I have SOOOOO much to learn LOL
 
Oh wow! If they are laying blue eggs, something else is in the mix.
I am 99% sure it is the Black Frizzle type. I tried to google and there aren't many chicks that lay blue eggs. Apparently the Araucana does so maybe the black frizzle type has that breed mixed in.
I have 4 in the incubator and there are 2 in the chick house so I guess I just have to wait and see :)

That would be my first guess too. On both accounts. 😁
