It looks almost exactly like a Self Blue Dutch Bantam to me.

Proud owner of 1 dog now (God bless Sam, my friend of 15 years), 2 cats (with more personality than they can handle), and 9 chickens with more to come in the future!!  My flock consists of 6 Golden Comets and 3 Black Sex Links. Next Spring I plan to add some Old English Game Bantams, Kraienkoppes, Black Sumatras and Guineas to the flock!!

i think Dutch have white earlobes.

He also looks too big to be a bantam, possibly a cross. Both of his parents had to have the lavendar/self blue gene for him to be Lav/self blue. He coloring looks more like Porcelin, kind of like a lavendar BBR or partridge.

His comb froze one day when it was to cold outside. So the father doesn't have the tips on the comb.

well, the question is, what is his father, cause he didn't fall far from the tree.

     I don't really think the father looks much like a porceline. And from my experience, porceline's tails aren't typically darker than their bodies..
