A Small Mystery. Bantam? No Clue

[FarmFullOfFowl]

Hello wonderful poultry people.
First week of July, I received the following from Murray McMurray hatchery:

• 35 - CXRS JUMBO CORNISH X ROCK Unsexed
• 1 - FRCS Free Surprise Chick Unsexed
• 5 - NIES Niederrheiner Unsexed

Typically, when I get a mystery chick, it's similar to the ones in the order, but this one seemed all together different. And now, at 6.5 weeks, it's easily half the size of the Niederrheiners and the Ameraucanas I hatched here at the same time. Also it's legs are SLIGHTLY tinged slate.

Any thoughts on sex, but most of all BREED?

At about a week and a half:

Today at about 6 and a half weeks:

I think its a Silver Sebright, its also a cockerel.

Looks like a Silver Spangled Hamburg cock to me.

I agree with the previous few posters-- it looks like a Silver Spangled Hamburg cockerel to me.

Hamburgs are a small breed, but not actually a bantam.

There are bantam Hamburgs.

There are bantam Hamburgs.

But not on McMurray's website. And we know the chick came from McMurray.

True! I didn't register that part.

Yes, thank you. You know there is a picture on the cackle site that shows a chick that looks EXACTLY like this one did when it was smaller. https://www.cacklehatchery.com/product/silver-spangled-hamburg/

Thank you for the help!! Darn that I don’t have a place for a small roo around here.
