4 weeks old... What breed or gender am I? HELP :-)

[1quest]

We are 4 weeks and 2 days old and probably still too young yet to figure anything out.... But we were playing this morning and I took some pictures. Just wondering if anyone has an idea on either breed or gender Thank you in advance!

The red on the breast feathers are a reflection from the heat lamp. They are brown like in the other pictures.

Where did you get the chick? Is there a list of possible breeds? If it is from a hatchery they only do so many breeds so it would narrow the possibilities.

We got It at Rural King feed store In Kendallville Indiana. They said that they probably came from Townline. They order from Crackle Hatchery as well depending on the time of year. It is supposed to be a bantam. It was in a bin that said silkies and bantam and was 6 days old.

It looked to have a broken wing... and they were going to remove It to the back. I am assuming the end of a happy little life. I wasnt leaving the store with out It to ensure Its safety. The wing is all better now... you wouldn't know that anything was ever wrong.

So I found out where Rural King got their chicks from and called them yestetday. They sent me an email this morning saying "I spoke with someone who gathers the eggs for us in the Bantams.  They said they think its a BB Red - Brown Old English."

So we will see
