Calling the experts on breeds (because I ain't one)... What breed is this wee thing?

[TXchickmum]

We purchased little Tux along with three other bantams. -have two OEG bantams and one Belgian d'Anver. We thought for the longest time she was a gray Japanese bantam, because the coloring was similar, but I am not certain. (The group from which we purchased wasn't supposed to contain mixed breeds.) I'm not sure what she is, but she's definitely one of our favorites!! -tiny, tiny li'l bit of a bird and loves to be carried around.

The above pic was taken when she was about two weeks old. For reference, that frog is approximately 3.5 inches tall. She liked to roost on top of its head.



This is Miss Nosy at about 12 weeks. She has to run twice as fast to keep up with the other bantams. -legs are just stubs. -looks like a pair of feet only running underneath her - it's hilarious!

That picture of her on the frog is adorable! What a cutie!

Maybe a serama? They are tiny and can come in any color.

a side pic would help. japs sit low to the ground and you should barely be able to see their legs sermas also stand a certain way so a pic of her standing naturally would help (side pic)

This is the best pic I have. She almost waddles like a duck when she walks around. Her legs are very short compared to the other chickens. When she was a chick, my kids would always remark that she only had feet and no legs.

I have a pair of OEGB and a Belgian d'Anver, as well. She is much smaller than them, and is the same age.

(Here she is beside our OEGB pullet)
