We got 6 chicks February 22nd from Tractor Supply, all we were told was they were unsexed bantams. I didn't realize how many kinds there were until I looked it up after and I just want to know more about them.
Also 5 of them looked identical with light brown colored faces and are now growing reddish feathers under their necks but one had the same overall color and pattern but with a whitish face and she has the same light color feathers growing on her neck, is she the same just a lighter color?

*first 3 pictures are the brown/red, second 3 are of the whitish one

They could be Old English Game Bantams.
There are other kinds they could be too.

If they are Old English Game Bantams, the colors would be Silver Duckwing (lighter one) and Black Breasted Red (brown/red one). Practically speaking, those two colors are the same, except that one has silver and the other has gold/red.
