I think this is an Old English Game Bantam, I got it from the Coastal Assorted Bantams bin! Any ideas?

OEGB have more colours than any other breed. Sadly, shows expect the cockerels 9 months and up to be dubbed but I won’t ever do that to mine. Not that I’m allowed to have roosters anyway :lol:
 
I have Crele OEGB’s, and they are an auto-sexing variety. Cockerels are gray with very light stripes down the back, and pullets are brown with contrasting white stripes down the back. If your Button is a Crele (and it looks like she may be), then it is a female :)
 
Yes, your chicks are Old English Game Bantams! In addition to what @bantamsrmyfav and @CloverTheRabbit stated above, I have to add on my opinion: Old English Game Bantams are one of the smartest and friendliest chicken breeds!

I have a Black Breasted Red Old English Game Bantam cockerel named Jasper, and he is very friendly. He loves to learn commands as well, and his colors are amazing!
