beautiful silver bantam. dark legs and beak. breed guesses?

Did your chick stay small? I have a pair of hens that looked identical to your chick, I thought they might be old English game Banton, but they got huge still have virtually no comb they comb eyes speak, and feet are black and their plumage is fluffy and silver like sterling silver. They can’t be lavender and they’re not a Easter egg because they don’t have cheek feathers… they’re not laying eggs yet, but I was hoping they were Swedish ice bar hens… but I just don’t know… did you ever confirm what breed your chick was?

This thread is very old, so you probably won't go a response from the OP. Old English Game Bantams stay small, about the size of a pigeon. If your chicks are bigger than that they are not OEGB. Do you have pictures of your chickens? Lavender Orpingtons are a very popular breed and that's what they may be.
