What breed are these bantam babies?

[nurseemi]

I got them for my broody Pekin hen. The farm shop could only tell me they were bantams of some sort. They are around 2-3 weeks old

I think at this stage they are too young to tell the breed.
They have feathered feet and Single comb from what I can see
So they could be pekin bantams or some cross.
They may not even be pekin bantams,
You may have to wait until they have grown up a little more to tell.
Goodluck.

They look like possible Pekin bantams, but keep us posted!

Ok thanks! I'll post another update in a couple of weeks. Do you think they could be duccle chicks?

Well, from what I can see in the picture they don't look like they have "puffy" cheeks. d'Uccles have "puffy" cheeks as well as feathered feet.

Not exactly sure what breed at the moment, but almost 100% certain they're not d'Uccles.

Not only are d'Uccles puffier, but they almost have a "frosted" look to their down.

I see. Thanks so much for your replies
I'll post more pics of my mystery babies soon. I love them either way! I don't mind if they're a cross of some sort. We keep them more as cherished pets. We don't breed or show or anything like that. So I'm just curious more than anything.

They are much too young - if they develop straight combs and feathered feet they may be bantam cochins. Please post new photos at 6-8 weeks of age.

Hi again!
These babies are now 5-6 weeks old. Any guesses on breed or gender? I think the white one is a cockerel! The red/brown one a pullet hopefully?
