8 week old bantam chick, probable oegb, breed/color?

[NatJ]

I’m pretty sure he is an old English bantam

No, because Old English Game Bantams have a single comb and no muff/beard (feathers under and beside the beak).

Your chick has pea comb, and a beard. Not a big beard, but definitely present. It's part of why he does not have obvious wattles.

The only common kind of bantam in the USA that has both a beard and a pea comb is an Easter Egger bantam. (Ameraucana bantam would too, but is not common, and probably is not that color.)

You’re right, I didn’t even notice his beard coming in until today. I thought he had ridges on his comb like a old English, but it’s actually smooth like an EE. Im sure you’re right too about him being an EE over a ameraucana, because my Atwood’s gets their poultry from ideal, and ideal has bantam EE, but no ameraucanas.

My mystery is finally solved!
thanks for your Input everyone!
