So I should have resisted, but didn't. This was the only one in the bin with no feathers on its feet... and the black splashy mark on the wing sold me... Even though it will probably change. The faint stripe behind the ear is on both sides, so I'm not sure if its random pink hatchery stains. I can say it is the loudest chick EVER!!! And seems to have more upright posture than the other chicks. I know what I hope chick is... but fantasy doesn't necessarily shape reality or it would be a fancy colored serama pullet that would live with me in the house.

The other chicks in the picture (to prevent screaming and for size comparison) are a barred rock and a wyondotte. They are about a week old. Not sure how old bantam is.

Ideas on breed and/or color?

Thanks!
 
I don't know. They are very cute though!!
I had some the bantam bin as well and have a BBR oeg and a blue oeg.
I bet when they get a bit older it will be easier to tell. I have a hard time with bantams at this age

I don't think she's an EE... but I wish she was! They are mutt mutt, but my FAVORITE. I was hoping OEG in a pretty color and pullet!

Thanks : )

I agree:)

I agree too. EE looks to be the most likely. I also wonder about Blue Dutch or Splash Old English.
 
Updated pictures! I'm hoping chick is a girl and still don't think chick is an EE. She's much louder and doesn't have cute muffs. I'm certainly not an expert and lover chick regardless, but below are updated pictures! Any further guesses as to what she is and sex would be appreciated!

The feathers on chick's head seem to be coming in darker than the rest of her body. I'm very pleased with her coloring so far! Super pretty!
