I am so confused, anyone know what breed of bantam this is??

[oliveloveshens]

I got this chick from the tractor supply assorted bantam bin. I think she is around 8 days old, but cannot tell completely. She has the cutest little heart on her forehead, I’m calling her Cupid.

English game bantam?

 

[JedJackson]

Yeah, I think it is a crele old English game bantam cockerel. Judging by the pattern, I'm guessing it is a cockerel as well.

I have never raised bantams before, so I may be completely wrong, but it does not have defined stripes

I'm confused by the question. Do you mean that it doesn't look like a crele OEGB?

I have just been looking at some pictures of crele OEGBs and they all appear to have pretty dark stripes, Cupid does not

Are you looking at adult birds? Because the adult and pre-adult feathering will be different than the juvenile feathering

He's young, he'll grow his stripes in later. Chick down coloration and early feathering both indicate he's a Crele OEGB cockerel.

 

[oliveloveshens]

Okay, you guys know best!! Man! I was really hoping for a hen!

 

[bantamsrmyfav]

Yes a crele OEGB. Sorry about that. The heart and name are cute and is still fitting since Cupid is a male God if you can keep him
