Any idea of breed

[chicchic25]

This little cutie decided he was going to start crowing. LOL! We were told by TSC when we bought them April 6th (should've considered our source), that all were pullets. So unless "pullets" crow at 6 a.m. this is a handsome little rooster.
My question is if anyone has a thought of its breed? TSC had them labeled as Bantam pullets but not breed specific. Thanks for taking a looking and giving your input!

He looks like an 'off color' Old English Game bantam.

Very similar to a Blue Quail Old English Game bantam. But as sourland stated, he's more likely a mixed color being from a hatchery.

Thank you all so much for your thoughts its really appreciated! In the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter much, but we were really curious. He was one of the smaller ones in his bin. Of course me being me, I was like..." awwww "she must be the runt we've GOT to buy her"!!! Runt, my foot... that's a rooster! LOL! smh!

For future reference, all but 2 hatcheries sell bantams straight run only. MPC offers sexing for bantams but it's an extra $8-10 per pullet chick. Cackle has a bantam assorted pullet deal but it's $90 for 10 chicks.

Feed stores aren't going to pay that much for chicks so those bantam bins will always be straight run.

Looks like a hatchery quality Blue Quail OEGB to me.

Thank you for the great information, we will certainly keep it in mind.
