I had that happen. My EE laid Blue eggs for her first season. After her first winter break her eggs were olive! I had no other hens that laid those color eggs to mistake them with, and I even watched her in the nesting box because I was dying to know if it was actually her. And sure enough, they...
I agree with the above comment, the second photo is definitely of a Mille Fleur D'Uccle, which us a pure Bantam breed. Mille Fleur translates into a Thousand Flowers, which is certainly appropriate for their gorgeous coloring! Your little one, (who I also agree, is likely a roo, due to the size...
I hatched a male cream legbar about 36 hours ago, this photo was taken at the 24 hour mark. A female has a more defined dark stripe on the back than my little guy. Also notice the bright yellow spot on the back of his head. Once their feathers are dry the color won't really change anymore.
