Bantam hen- what breed?

Update, definitely the brown one laid the egg because she's secluded and just laid another. I was told she lays every other day and she was broody when I got her. Shes very aggressive towards the other birds.Even the 5 month old buff orp is scared of her. But it didn't seem like she was defending the nest.. She would randomly target one of the others and jump kick it.. So I locked her in a big dog crate.
Now can I put the first egg back that I took out yesterday afternoon and stored on the counter inside? If I keep her locked in will she just stay broody? The change in scenery didn't change her egg laying schedule at all. She actually seems very happy and relaxed other than the random ninja stuff lol. She has oyster shells, water and food. The crate is XL.
What do I do now?! Lmao
 
Thank you! Now, I think the brown one laid the egg but not positive. I believe they were both bred though. All his bantams were kept together. So...
Now the question is if one of these hens was bred by a frazzle roo, what kind of babies would I theoretically get?
50 % frazzle or 50% frizzle or 25% bantam leghorn? This is confusing.
I'm just wondering if there is a way to know if thBabies will not be Frazzles, but likely will be Frizzles.
Babies will not be Frazzles, but likely will be Frizzles. ☺️
 
So if the frizzle is from a frazzle, the chicks will be ok? Like it dilutes the bad feathering gene?
I won't get crazy mutants? Lol
 
I got her today in a trade. The guy says "full bantam" but that's not very specific. 2 years old
I got another one that he said is a serama mix. It looks like a black rose comb(?) The one in question looks gray in the shade but brown in the sun.
Also within 2 hours of getting here one laid an egg! Former owner says the black one was bred to a fizzle serama but I don't know if the other was. I don't know who laid the egg.
So the questions are- what breed is this gray/brown one and if one or both are fertile, how long will they be able to lay fertilized eggs? If I let them brood how long will it be before any chicks are born? This is my first experience with bantams and my first egg! My other chicks arec large breeds are too young to lay or breed yet.
She looks like a rosecomb bantam mix or a Dutch bantam mix.
Thanks so much for responding! I'll look all those up for sure. Now I have pics of the other girl, 10 months that was bred to a fizzle bantam. I don't have pics of that male yet. But the guys going to send some soon.
He said this is a serama mix
She does look like a serama mix. Though she might have scaly leg mites.
 
So if the frizzle is from a frazzle, the chicks will be ok? Like it dilutes the bad feathering gene?
I won't get crazy mutants? Lol
A frazzle crossed to a non-frizzle will give you all frizzled chicks. If a frazzle is crossed to a frizzle, however, then 50% of those chicks would also be frazzles.
 
Black hen looks very close to a Black Rose Comb. I had a cock once and ended up getting rid of it as it ruled the entire flock. I think the breed has very strong game backround.
