a bantam is a chicken that only grow to be half or less the size of an average chicken. and an easter egger is any chicken that isn't a breed, but has the blue egg gene

maybe d,anver

EE's have a pea comb (3 rows). D'anvers have dark legs, but not the green hue of ee's. She looks like our d'anvers from the pictures. D'anvers are pretty tiny, and smaller than our ee bantam. Close-up of the rose comb and beard:

Wow, ok thank you. Now I'll really know as soon as I get a small white egg.

 

[BlueCamas]

I'd say she's a Quail d'Anver, a common color for d'Anvers.

 

[FeatheredFreind]

How old is she?

We got her as an itty bitty after Easter

She just recently developed the larger lower back stomach. I think she might be getting ready to lay.
