What breed are these bantams???

[Painted Calls]

Yea, bare legs. Not bantam cochins I don't think??

Yeah, definitely not.

Picked up some bantams from TSC that looked identical to those dark ones. There now 8 weeks old and look like this. I was told there possibly oegb as well.

They are gorgeous!

They are. Unfortunately 3 of the 4 turned out to be boys. I’m hoping to keep one with another rooster so the hen has a buddy. We’ll see how it goes.

Unlucky. When we first started we bought 20 chicks. 10 rir, and 10 ausyralorps. 5 out of ten rirs were male, and 9 out of 10 austras were male.

Funny. I also purchased 10 EE chicks. We are fairly sure 8 of them are boys. Trying to find homes for 10 cockerels now....

I think TSC puts the boys in the straight run bins. At least that’s what I’ve heard.

Also I hatched chicks for the first time in November and ended up with 8/9 boys

Still have the girl and one of the boys.

Is there anyone here who knows for sure what breed this one is??

Good luck with that. Most the free adds on here are cocks and very few get commented on. We ended up having to turn ours into chicken dinner because they were starting to fight and get aggressive (except one rir roo at first)
