What Assorted Bantams Did I Get??

[SilkiesInSuburb]

My mom would kill me if I let a bird in full-time! I am saving up for a chicken diaper though, so not all hope is lost.

We just had a sick chicken we had to keep inside, we made her a diaper! Lol

I started a thread just asking about one chick, and I didn’t post pictures, and then realized I don’t know for sure what they are except for the silkie and OEGB.


Ok so we have a silkie, one of what we believe is a silver duckwing old English bantam, one of what we believe is a black-tailed Japanese bantam, one that we think might be a d'uccle, and 2 we think *could* be mille fleur d'uccles.

Chick #1- The White Silkie

Chick #2- White, with two verythin black/greyish lines down the back and some very small hintsof grey specks intermittently. Bearded, feathered legs. Maybe some type of d'uccle? It's not porcelain because we have had them and it is not purple enough.It's probably hard to see the very small hints of grey specks/stripes in the pics.

Chick #3- White, clean legs, nobeard. What we believe to be awhite black-tailed Japanese bantam:

Chick #4- Chipmunk pattern, dark eyeliner and stripe (girl?), clean legs, no beard obviously... what we believe to be a silverduckwing old English bantam. We got a boy last year, looked just like this only not quite as dark and I don't think he had eyeliner. We are hoping this one can be his companion! He needs a girl his size lol:

Chick #5- One of the mystery chicks. Feathered feet, no beard apparent yet. Mille fleur d'uccle? I thought they were bearded? But it doesn't look like a Brahma does it?

Chick #6- Almost identical tochick #5-- actually, I can't tellthem apart very well in the pictures! So... a couple might be the same. But they look a lot alike.

What are your thoughts????

Did you ever update this thread? I was really looking forward to seeing how he chicks turned out.

I didn’t update it but I can now!

The chipmunk is a Black Breasted Red Old English Game Bantam. He’s a boy.

The two feather footed are Mille Fleur booted bantams. One boy and one girl.

The white one is a Red Pyle Old English Game Bantam. She’s a girl.

The white/lavender bearded chick is a very pretty either self blue or porcelain d’uccle (we still can’t tell!). She’s a girl.

And obviously the silkie is a silkie! Still don’t know gender.

Since this post we got 15 more chickies! Will see if I can get some pictures later.

Thank you! I was so disappointed not knowing how it turned out so I appreciate you giving the update! Do you have pictures of them older, I would love to see how they turned out? It amazes me how much they change in such a short period of time!

I bought two "chipmunks" they're both Silver duckwing OEGBs. It is good to know not all chipmunks are silver duckwing OEGBs.
