7 yr olds first chicken. what is it?

[sheena6292]

Bub picked this little one out of the assorted bantam bin. It isn't bearded and its feet aren't feathered. It has chipmunk markings and is very docile. Bub named it Jake. Any ideas? Sorry this is the best I can get it doesn't like the camera.

It is too early.Post when 4-6 weeks.Is it bantam or standart?What color are legs?We will need standing picture(full body shot)

Maybe a bantam EE with the stripe...its feet look yellow from what's visible though. If it were an EE, i think it'd have greenish tinted legs like the standard size do.I have several big ones, but no banties.
From looking @ some hatchery pics online, sometimes you can fig some breeds. The closest I saw to yours were the Old English Game chickens:

esp. the Golden duckwing OEG chicks, as compared to your pic, anyway!

Hope this might help out!

Thanks for the link! Fairly certain its an OEG! It looks identical to the pics. And its feathers coming in look just like the hens.

my guess would have been oegb

Yeah, I'd say an Old English, save for the pink legs. Ours have gray legs...the Golden Dutch do too, and they're fairly like the Old English, just a little bigger. OE are tiny!

This little guy is tiny! Smaller than my polish, millies, and silkies. His legs are a bright yellow though. I think the flash made her legs appear funny. His her who knows.

unless like the pics I saw they feather in different cause it has a kind of barred(I think that's the right term) like the silverwing hen pics I saw.
