Any ideas on what this little bantam is?

Picked up this little bantam from Atwoods, I read they get their chicks from Ideal. It's head is chocolate-y brown that fades to lighter on its back and belly. Any ideas?

Looks somewhat like a Golden Laced Sebright chick.

Interesting! It looks identical in appearance to another bantam I picked up that I assumed was an Old English Game, but the color on this one really threw me. I really did not NEED another chick but couldn't resist, haha.

Its belly coloring is a grey color, but its head is definitely brown. There isn't any chipmunk stripes although it kind of appears that way in the pics.

I'm guessing its an OEG

Golden Sebrights usually have more golden-colored bodies.

I really have no idea

But the closest it resembles is an Old English Game. Is it a bantam chick? If it's not, Silkiesandco, it's most definitely not a Golden Sebright, because they are true bantams, i.e. they don't have a standard-size version of them.

EDIT: Oh wait, it is a bantam. So my guess is Old English Game bantam.

Thanks for the replies, I think you all are right about the chick being an Old English Game. Now if I could just figure out. the color! Google hasn't been any help.

I second the golden laced sebright. I looked through all the colors of OEG and none of the chicks look like that. This isn't all the colors but here's a good reference for OEG chicks.

What makes you say that? I'm not trying to argue, just learn.

Neither am I. Saying it's most definitely not a Golden Sebright is just my opinion,actually.

Reasons I think the chicken in question is not a Sebright:

1. The chick lacks the lacing of a true Golden Sebright chick.

2. Golden Sebright chick's chests are more of a gold-wheat color,the chick in question has more of a bluish chest,but I don't know if it's the lighting or not...

3. The color of the shanks is different. Golden Sebrights have more silvery-grey shanks,not the blank shanks of that chick.

Reasons I think the chicken in question is an OEGB:

1. The chick looks somewhat like a Blue OEGB.

2. The shank color is the same.

3. To me the body shape look like that of an OEGB chick.
