Mystery Bantam. Feathered Legs

[BlessedmamaAELE]

It finally came to me. It's a Sultan.

I looked up sultan, but aren’t the all
White? This birds feather are coming in buff and like grey.

The most common color is white but they come in many other colors as well.

I'm not sure Sultans have muffs.

They do, muffs and beards.

 

[AltonaAcres]

Oh that's correct, sorry.

I thought sultan too but hatcheries only carry white sultan. Such a mystery. Any chance the feathers turned white? lol

Nope no white feather. Still a combo of buff/grey

Does it look like it has a crest, or is it just extra floofy?

If no crest, I still think it looks like a Faverolles.

so I’m not super certain it’s an actual
Crest. I have had polish in the past and def can detect a vaulted skull/crest on them. I think it could just be extra fluff. I have 2 salmon faverolles and I don’t remember them having all that fluff. But everything else certainly
Does.
it’s feathered out a tiny bit more. But not much.

Gosh it certainly is fluffy. I just don't know now. It has to be a Faverolles or Sultan with those feet. You got it from a hatchery right? The odds of it being a mix are pretty slim. It does look like a Sultan, but coming from a feed store hatchery I feel any color other than white would be super rare to receive.

Aghhhh. Waiting impatiently for more feathers to come in.
