What breed is this bantam?

[Cyprus]

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.

Hatchery stock often lack beards

It looks exactly like my RIR bantam as a chick. My red cochin bantam had no black and was a lot lighter.

Not completely. If you breed frizzle to smooth you'll get 1/2 and 1/2 roughly. Feathered legs is a dominant trait though. If at least one parent has feathered legs then all the offspring will have feathered legs of some degree.

Frizzles have one copy of the frizzling gene. Frazzles, which have two copies of the gene, are a lot rarer since they have extremely brittle feathers and generally aren't bred for. If a frazzle is bred to a smooth you'll get 100% frizzled offspring.

Feathers are definitely smoothing out. I’m seeing more black on the ends, and some grey at the shoulder.

Okay, yeah. That looks like a Rhode Island Red bantam.

RIR bantam chicks look just like that. A RIR is much more likely than a Cochin with clean legs. And its possible for any breed to be frizzled. I've even had frizzles pop at random in me Swedish Flower Hens even.

Isn't frizzled a dominant trait?

Hard to say.

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