Can you help identify our first baby?

Dear BF got the bright idea to make a home made incubator out of a coleman cooler and a friend gave us some eggs and one actually hatched!!! Its the smallest chick I've ever seen. We have no idea what it might be, maybe your guys can tell.

It could be a bantam - was the egg tiny?
It is really cute!

It kinda looks like a pheasant chick to me, what color and size was the egg?

PoultryPam · Jun 17, 2010

The egg was small like a bantam egg and white, the man who gave them to us has a game bird farm, he hatches everything under the sun, phesants included. This little one is alot smaller than the day olds I got from Ideal.

You can't tell in the pic but he does have feathers on his legs.

Heres another pic, sorry they aren't very clear, dunno whats up with my camera.

With the feathers on the legs and fuzzy cheeks it looks like a porcelain mille to me...

Same gold feathering, feathered feet. it's a d'uccle cross

I think we need to see more pics as it grows though. Very cute

is it like this at all?

Right now this one in the picture above its head looks exactly like the picture of yours that you have in your hand.

I am curious I haven't found out what mine is either.
