Hi, I got this bird from atwoods about 8 weeks ago, when he was a little chick he was all yellow with a tiny bit of blue on his wings and a small black spot on his back. Now he looks like this! I’m pretty sure he is an old English bantam, but I have no idea what color he is. I’ve been playing chicken detective for awhile now, but am coming up short. I’m not very good with colors, but is he a blue Mille fleur maybe? Also, im pretty sure it’s a rooster, but I’d also love advice on that since I’m still new to bantam chickens.

Thanks!

Very interesting! Come to think of it I did see an ameruacana that had nearly his exact coloring, but I thought his comb looked to big.
Ameraucanas and EEs are close relatives, but EEs aren’t a pure breed.

Here’s my thread on the difference between the two. https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...hink-you-have-an-ameraucana-do-check.1421663/
