Anyone have a clue?

[waynehuffaker]

I picked this bird up from a breeder who had no idea what it was, so I took a chance on it because of the beautiful blue coloring. It sometimes stands on one foot if that helps, and lately it is starting to remind me of a hawk or an owl because of it's extremely short neck and compact body


. I am sure it is some type of chicken, but I haven't a clue, so any ideas would be a help.

Yes, it's a chicken. Probably a bantam which means a small version of a normal chicken. I'm not positive on the breed but it looks like maybe australorp/ ameraucana.

lavender ameraucana pullet from the looks of it, funny the breeder didn't know what this was

Sounds like lavender ameracauna to me, as well, the color is right for sure. And to the "breeders" credit, she did take this bird in from a friend, my mistake for mis-stating that. I haven't ever had ameracaunas as chicks before, so I hadn't seen this stage, thanks for the help.
