What kind of bantam?

[yann_n]

Just got this lovely girl a couple of days ago - was told she's a serama but i'm thinking japanese bantam? Or any idea what she is?
Also the colours on the chicks?
Was trying to feather sex them but might be too late considering it has to be done early and they also might not be feather sex-able

Chicks are not able to be feather-sexed unless they are a very specific cross, so I wouldn't even try with these guys. I believe even for breeds that can be, it's done pretty much right after hatching as well, so even if they somehow happened to be the right mix, it's too late. The hen looks to be a Black Tailed White Japanese Bantam

Hen is a Black Tailed White Japanese

Agreed. Much too late to try feather sexing and it probably wouldn't work with that clutch of babies anyway despite what some individuals may tell you. The hen does appear to be a Black-tailed White Japanese Bantam; however, it's possible she is crossbred, as they black in her hackles and the white bleeding through in her primaries isn't generally seen. Her stance screams Japanese though.

Thank you! yes a jap bantam then!
3 of the chicks have started feathering on their feet not sure what kind of cross that would be hmmm

not sure what kind of cross that would be hmmm

What kind of comb do they have? Single would suggest D'Uccle...

Do you have a picture of the hen’s legs/feet? They appear to be pink, which is incorrect for a Japanese bantam, but they could just be faded yellow.
Can’t tell colors of the chicks at this age, especially as they appear to be mixed.

She isn’t pure Japanese bantam, then. I’m guessing she’s a Japanese bantam mix.
