Help! New chick owner - cant identify and age this little chick

[Tintedwinged]

Hi! I’m new to the chicken world and am slowly learning everything there is to know. I’m finding it difficult to know what breed, how old and what gender this little one is (it’s about ~11/12 weeks old, is my guess). It’s also almost positively a bantam. A farm had a late bloomer and the chick was going to be put down so I took it home, in the process of getting additional chicks for extra company/ winter warmth. Any leads on the gender age and breed would be appreciated, thank you!!


Her as of today:

When we first got her late December:

That’s a young rooster.

That’s a young rooster.

Looks like an Olive Egger?

Hmm...not quite sure on the breed. Looks like a mix of some kind. 12 weeks is probably about right. It's also a cockerel.

I think that it’s probably a mix as well. Definitely a cockerel though.

My guess is black bantam cochin rooster. Very cute bird. They're usually sweet roosters.

Mixed breed cockerel.
Looks 10-11 weeks.

Thank you, everyone! We're hoping to keep him, he (lovingly been named Bathsheba and been told that it's the most beautiful girl in the world) is very sweet and loves to cuddle in the evening and fall asleep on your chest or hang out on your shoulder but is starting to get sassy. Finger's crossed for neighbors who don't mind the morning crows

Btw...

Mixed breed cockerel! Due to feathered legs, maybes bantam Cochin or Brahma in him! They're two of the more common feathered legged bantam breeds besides Silkie, but I'm not seeing Silkie traits
