It's hard to tell, but when you say that it's a bantam with hair feet ; my head immediately goes to "bantam cochin".
And hahaha @ "get back in your box dammit"

Cochins I have seen look like they are wearing pants. Curly looks like he/she was born in a wind machine..haha

Update: Since I was unable to finish the five day wormer routine I waited a week and started over with the routine. All the chicks are doing well. I think I got lucky with my barred rocks and sapphire gem. Looks like only two roosters in that batch. The bantams seem to be a little overpopulated with roosters. This morning they all decided to hang up on the one curly chick. I had to move him into his own cage. He is looking more like a bantam frizzle Cochin. I hope he is not a frazzle.

Curly is a black bantam Cochin frizzle I believe. His/her feathers will be curly as an adult as well, I love frizzles! Congrats!

Frizzle Frazzle Sizzle, I was telling my daughter about the differences and she looked it up on her phone and read it aloud to me while I was drivng... we had a good laugh. She said this had my mind all in a Twizzle.

Update: I added a few more bantams and found some chocolate brown chicks which have grown into easter eggers of some sort. They are all two months old now and about to outgrow their stage 1 outdoor holding crates. Getting the run ready has taken a long time because husband and brother both had back injuries (husband flew off the porch and cracked some ribs) I got out and tried to work on a pen and ended up down with arthritis for a few days. Anyway ... all that aside the chickens are doing great. It appears that the SR sapphire gems and barred rocks are all female. (Oh Happy Day) The bantams are an interesting bunch... seems half of them are crowing. The black bantam frizzle is a fun little bird and so gentle. I do not plan to add to my flock until their quarters are how I want them. I will be giving a few bantam roosters to friends when they are a bit older, just now I like to sip my coffee of a morning while listening to them try to crow.
