They're what I presume is a old English game bantam variant, that I got from Orcheln, and yes the center of the chest is still mostly chick fluff haha. so far though, any feathers on the chest are black, and the tips/end feathers of their wings seem to be turning black as well. ultimately I know...
Four weeks old, and now has their "proper" feathers, Red waddles and comb growth as well. what do y'all think they are? mainly trying to figure old what they'll look like when their older, but if y'all can determine gender too, that's appreciated as well!

Hello! I'm looking to expand my flock and I'm looking for a specific breed, the black-breasted red old english game bantam.
I have a basic idea of what the chicks look like (brown stripes from eyes and top of head down to the tail with beige fluff) but I just want to be certain that that is the...
