What Breed are These Bantams

[Emelyn]

I was going to say the exact same thing. About the age and the breeds.

Well I guess I'm getting worse and worse at telling the breed of chickens as time goes by...

I agree although I suspect the Cochin is a cockerel

Partridge cockerel would have a black chest. Though I agree it's quite developed for a pullet.

Partridge cockerel would have a black chest. Though I agree it's quite developed for a pullet.

If it helps, it has a white chest and is 6 weeks old. They are all 6 weeks.

 

[ThorntownChickens]

How old?

They are all 6 weeks old

Either the comb and wattles will continue to grow and he'll start to show black feathers on his breast, or she'll stay the pencilled pattern and the comb and wattles won't grow much more until she's close to laying age.

Okay, one more. How about this one and cockerel or pullet?

Honestly, I think Dutch and OEGBs probably get mixed at some hatcheries. A couple I've had have had a mix of red and white on their earlobes. They're pretty similar in size and stature (at least the ones I've seen, which might have a shared heritage, lol).

I lean that way also. Just holding out a little hope in case it's older than it looks.

The Cochin?

Yep! It has a white chest
