What breeds are these two chicks?

[kinkachy000]

Hello!

I have two chicks that I need help identifying. I know one for certain is a bantam, and I have no clue about the other (she came in a "bantam" tub that also had meat birds, barred rocks, and New Hampshires in the mix - all of which I received ). They are approximately 8 weeks old now. Any help would be appreciated!

Chick #1) The bantam. She was a VERY slow grower and just now got her adult feathers in these past two days. She has a brownish body, with a small striped pattern. But then the feathers on her head are primarily white in the middle and with a little brown on the edges. She is a bit smaller than my seabrights but bigger than my Gold Old Englishes.

Chick #2) this is the chick I have no clue about! She has the most pretty feathers, but an ugly face! She literally looks like the actor who plays Toby on the American version of The Office. she is kind of hard to take pictures of, so one of them is from when she was around 6 weeks (so please ignore the text on top). I can try to get better pictures of her if needed.

And one more that doesn't really help, but makes me laugh because of her face! You probably caught it in the first picture I added on here!

So...any ideas on what these guys are? I have no clue what to search up to even try and find their breed, so I'm turning to you guys! I'm just so curious because I have never seen any breeds like them before. Thank you for any help, guesses, or ideas you may have!

#1. Silver Penciled Rock, most likely. Single comb and yellow-ish legs.
#2. White Laced Red Cornish. I must be odd, because....I think her face is SO CUTEEEEE!!!!

Thank you! I looked it up and they both look spot on! Are the silver penciled rocks really that rare? She just came from a mixed tub! If so, I'm pretty lucky! The adult pictures I saw were so beautiful in their markings. And for the second one, maybe she is just in a awkward stage right now. Her eyes just look too small for her eye holes - if that makes sense? She has like bloodhound eyes, with droopy eyelids almost.

Thanks! I think you are spot on! I'm glad they are both pullets too, thank you for clarifying that for me. Both of those breeds are so pretty as adults! I'm excited to see how they mature.

Silver Penciled Rocks aren't terribly common as it is, let alone in bantam sizes! You picked out some good ones.
You have me giggling.... Makes perfect sense! Perhaps she'll eventually grow into her "eye holes."
