Identification Help Please

Hi everyone.......I have lurked for a while but never posted. this young roo showed up in one of my chick orders this spring. There is this roo and a female. The feathers are silver laced from all appearances, the legs are stark white, and I am almost certain that they are a banty breed but am clueless as to what since I ordered nothing like this. Any help would be appreciated!

He looks pretty young and still changing - could they be small standards instead of bantams? Maybe Dorking? http://www.feathersite.com/Poultry/CGD/Dorks/BRKDorks.html Would help to see the girl...

Thank you for your reply. I have searched and searched and cannot find this coloration among any of the Old English Game birds. Can you give me any further assistance?

there aren't that many chickens with white legs.... here is a thread on OEG's https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/311466/show-off-your-old-english-game-bantams/20 birchen almost matches more than silver laced... but again the legs... good luck!

if you could get pics of it standing on its own it would help with coloring

You have hit it!!! You are a doll....the photo of Isadora the silver grey is a perfect picture of my hen and the roo's coloration of his feathers looks identical!!

They are not the size of the other Dorkings I have and the coloration is nothing like my regular Dorking chicks so I was completely confused on what I was seeing.

Thank you so so much for helping me!!!
