Does this look like a bearded d'anvers? As a small chick it was marked identical to the others but it's HUGE compared to them now - at least 4x's larger. It's 7 weeks old. They're only supposed to weigh 22-26 ounces at maturity. Did I just get a giant one

For one, its a roo whatever it is.
Looks like a Quail d'Anver, if you got it from a hatchery it probably wont match the standard weight or height wise.
They breed for quantity, not quality, and so far most bantams I bought from hatcheries were at least twice the size of a good quality bird of the same breed from a breeder..
 
Looks like a d'Anver crose to me. And I'm not sure about it being a boy, its comb is pretty small and light. Though I do see some shiny feathers, though some of my girls have those. I'd have to see if it has saddle feathers or not to be sure. Very pretty, either way.
