feather footed bantam

[BlueMouse]

This chick is about 4 weeks old we think. It was given to us as part wof a mixed lot of bantams. I'm terribly curious as to what it is, I've been all over the interneet looking at pictures, but can't find anything that looks the same! I'm hoping it's a girl. Any ideas on breed or sex? (I know it's early for sex....)

It looks a little like a Mille fleur bantam

Really? I sure hope so! I wasn't sure if a mille fleur would have more speckles than this one though...

Mine was that color as a chick and he didn't get full plumage until about 8 months
What's making me think it is a Mille fleur is the color brown and how the tips of the feathers are white. Hopefully it is, they're gorgeous birds!
