This is a tough one. It looks a little smaller than the cochin. The wing feathers coming in look buff in color. I am having a difficult time with this.What type of comb does it have? More help with identifying, anyone?

Let me know what you think. I hope he is a brahma. I have compared my rooster to other pics I have found, and he nearly matches. I have compiled the pics so others can compare. I only own the photo of my rooster.

probably too young to tell. maybe a couple more weeks.

ideas please?

might be a cochin bantam. can you put up a pic of the body shape?

Its ok to worry. If I have any problems, I ask too. I have been incubating my hens' eggs for a few years now in my cheap little incubator, and have just about seen everything. Total, I have hatched over 100 chicks, though not a lot compared to others. My favorite part about new babies is the...

Old English games can have dark or light slate gray legs. A little variation is normal. Here is a pic of mine from last year. Probably close to the same age , probably close to the same age

I wouldn't advise to open an unpipped egg, unless it was chirping loudly. When you do though, starting from the air cell end is good. When you see blood, that means stop, and leave it alone. I'm not sure how long it takes for the membrane to dry, but if you do help a pipping egg, break the...

First of all, by now is it still the same way, or has the navel closed up? To me it looks normal. After the chick hatches, the navel will look like that until the swelling starts, and it will close up the hole. Just let me know how things go.Make sure the other chicks aren't picking at it...

Some chicks just have it more than others. One of my chicks right now has the same thing. If the poop is bothering them, they will try to preen and pick it off, and will sometimes pluck a little baby fluff with it. My little chick's bottom is pointing too far south, and the poor thing just...

A few questions... Are the legs fluffy, or have feathers? How many toes does it have? Is there a poof on its head? What color are the feet? What type of comb does it have (pea, single, etc?) If you answer these, it will be easy to identify it. Thank you.

If it is half the size, I think it might be a silver duckwing OE game bantam. Here are some pics from a quick search

and what color are the legs?

I ordered from the same hatchery last year and got a free chick too. Mine turned out to be a bb red old english game bantam. Is it a bantam, or standard? Let me know, I have some ideas. I can check the chicks in my catalog for you.

I do think he has some Brahma in him. The color matches for a Nankin, but there wouldn't be any in my area. It is such an ornamental breed. Thank you for the opinion.
