I have a 2ish week old Bantam I got from CAL ranch. The label just said “assorted bantams”. She is black/gray with a comb and what appears to be laced wings coming in. Her feet are not feathered but her legs are pretty long.

Any idea what she could be? I’ve been googling like crazy to no avail.

Could be possibly an OEGB, maybe a bantam Plymouth or something else with clean legs and a single comb.. hmm.. I've never heard of CAL ranch, do you happen to know who supplies them?
They are supplied by Hoover’s Hatchery.
I was thinking a Plymouth as well but the markings aren’t in a straight line as is characteristic for the barred Plymouth.
 
It seems a bit older than my other chicks based on where it’s at in the molting process but they’re roughly the same size so I think it’s likely a bantam. I’m thinking it is a mix of some kind for sure though. Possibly a game mixed with a Plymouth?
Also, I am really suspicious that it may be a cockerel. Larger legs and the comb is already turning reddish orange.
What do you guys think?

I am wracking my brain to no avail, it seems to be pencilled... There is nothing at Hoover's that matches in my opinion. This is a huge limb, but perhaps a Silver Pencilled Rock Bantam?? They are stocked by a couple hatcheries? It looks quite similar to my LF chick from Horstman's Poultry. @Overo Mare, any other ideas I'm missing? I would think maybe Fayoumi, but I would expect willow legs and the body type seems wrong.
