This is Bukowski. Hoping for a pullet, but was from a bin at TSC marked straight run.
I was thinking Easter Egger, but I thought those have green-grey legs..? I was attached when I saw that she looked like a chipmunk, on the head and under the wings. I don't really mind what breed she is, because she's going to be a companion. But I would like to know if you have any ideas. :)

Thank you!!
 
Well thank you!
I bought her and another bantam together, but sadly the other one died. We have 4 more chicks that will live in the coop we're gonna build. Bukowski is going to be a house pet, since I'm moving away soon. If only my parents approved. Hahaha.
 
I have only had my baby chicks for a week...so I am no expert. But to me this little on looks like my dark Bramha...althought yours does not have any fleathers on the legs and feet like mine does. I also have a gold laced Wyandotte...but my is darker on the head. So, not sure but they are cuties!
 
Haha, I'd be shocked something outrageous if she turns out to be a gold-laced Wyandotte! They're so pretty, but I wouldn't expect that from a mixed bin of TSC chicks.

Thanks 4-H Mom, I don't think I'll mind whichever sex s/he turns out to be. Bantam roos are the absolute cutest.
 
Definately not a GLW. My profile pic is of a GLW chick, and yours look nothing at all like them.

Not sure exactly what they are, but they do look like EE's.

You'll just have to wait and see. :)
 
looks more like its 3-4 weeks old(not trying to argue lol just what the feathering looks like)...but yes it looks like an ee (does it have a beard?) and it is way to early to tell gender...what type of comb does it have?...i would expect a glw to be in a tsc bin :) ...im starting to lean towards an old english game bantam instead with the comb (looks like its straight from the angle of the pic) and the color of the legs and body possibly black breasted red

I accidentally hit 5 instead of 4, I've had the chicks since April 1st and was told the bantams were 5 days old. So it's almost 4 weeks.. Sorry about that.
The comb looks to be a straight comb, not sure if it's done developing though.

Are glw's common then? I guess I just don't know much of chicken breeds lol. I'll post another set of pics in a couple weeks to see if it's easier to tell then.
 
It looks like a Welsummer. Look it up
