What kind of black chicks are these? Some feather footed, some not

[foxygoober]

So we have a couple black chicks from our hatchery surprise that I haven't even tried to identify yet. . .I keep thinking I'll have time to look up all the options. . .yea, right. Feel free to post any guesses!

First up are feather footed

Here are my guesses...

#1 and #2 - Cochin
#3 - Barred Rock
#4 - looks like it has a beard and muffs so Easter Egger (assuming it is a large fowl).

Thanks! All these guys are pretty small, so probably not EE?

I should also add that they are 2 weeks old

there are bantam EEs

#1 - black cochin
#2 - black or blk mottled cochin
#3 barred rock (Girl - cause no spot on head)
#4 - black sex link? Black australorp? no idea if they are bantams theres a number of possibilities

I dont think EE cause the legs are not green/olive they look black/slate over yellow

actually judging by those pics and their backgrounds, those are standard chicks not bantams, no way entirely too big.

Looking at the 1st pic, it does look big, but that is just the angle. We're pretty petite people so that might skew the perspectives. They are the same size as my silkies that are the same age. Guess I'll wait until they are a bit older. I think the Barred Rock guess is correct judging from the wing feathering.

my silkie chicks are a bit bigger than my d'uccles, once they hit 2 weeks, the size difference between silkie & d'uccle became apparant but also the size difference in standard and silkie, the standards starting getting much heavier bodied at about 2 weeks.

Take a shot of the barred rock beside a soda can or something for size comparison

Either way standard or bantam - adorable.

I didn't mean to imply that it couldn't be an EE if it was a bantam. I was saying that because there are other bantam breeds with clean legs that have beards and muffs and no crests. There are only a couple clean legged, bearded, muffed, non crested large fowl breeds (EE and Ameraucana) in the US. So, if it is a bantam, you can throw D'Anver into the list of possibilities. What kind of comb does it have?

my guess is that they are all...chickens!
