My Gray (or black?) Japanese Bantam Chick doesn't seem to look like other chick photos I see online of Japanese Bantam chicks. He/She is very "smooth" feathered instead of as fluffy as my other chicks which are all different breeds. I got them all from a local chicken breeder, so I am just wondering if he/she looks like a "normal" Japanese Bantam or if there's a possibility of some breed mixture? Here is a photo at what should be one week old. He/she is now a little over two weeks and I can post an updated pic when I get home if needed since there is a lot more feathering. I think it's the coloration that's getting me confused - it's so uniform. Also, those are definitely long legs for a Japanese Bantam. The best term I can use for how he/she looks is "slick". Thanks for your help.

 
Some new pics. About 2 1/2 weeks old. We love our little Tokyo. A very pretty chick.

Thanks for the input. Glad to hear she looks like Japanese Bantam chick. She/he is such a cutie. I have never had this breed, so am excited to see how things develop.
