What breed is this bantam?

[Alexandra33]

I have to agree with Gray Farms on this one. Just look at the picture Ideal uses to represent their RIR bantams:

Identical to baby #1.

Time will tell.

Identical to baby #2.

Time will tell.

What? No.
Baby #2 is a male porcelain d'Uccle.

And last I checked, no hatchery is selling frizzled RIR bantams.

Sorry, I meant #1. Honest mistake.

Certainly not, but hatcheries sometimes turn out oddities.....as most of us have found. Clean-legged Cochin may also be an option here, but we won't know more until later on. Just stating the resemblance, that's all.

Some hatcheries also sell "frizzles" as a breed, which they aren't in the U.S.A. This could be that.

#1 remains kinda funky

#2 has sprouted a very bright comb and cool tail feathers.

The little silver fellow could be a porcelain d"uccles, but could also be a porcelain booted bantam. At this age, a d'uccles should be showing at least hints of muffs and a beard - and it's hard to tell from our angle.

Hard to say.

Hatchery stock often lack beards

Chick #2 is a Porcelain Booted Bantam or Sabelpoot cockerel.
No idea about chick #1
