Mystery bantam

[Chickenandmacaroni]

I got 4 chicks from TSC about 5 weeks ago, they were maybe 2 or 3 days old. Two were supposed to be EE's (questionable since day 1), and since the minimum you can buy is 4, I also picked a silkie and the teeniest most active chick from the assorted bantam bin. So out of 4, the only breed I knew for sure was the silkie.

Here is the mystery bantam (Petunia) when I got her:

And at 4 weeks she was flying all over the place:

Although she is less than half the size of the two standard-sized grey chicks, she is feisty, curious, and is the ringleader. She always flies over to me and doesn't mind being picked up, whereas the others run away (one of the bigger chicks is mean and bites me before running away ).
Anyway, she looks like OEGB to me, what do y'all think?

She’s adorable!
I had a rooster like that that was the tiniest chicken I’ve ever seen.. sadly he was eaten by a fox while free ranging.

Possibly some kind of lavender bantam? I do agree it does look like an OEGB too. Maybe a lavender OEGB? Or Self-blue?

Wrong color skin for OEGB. She also appears splash instead of lavender. I am stumped. Let's see what Mystery says.

Maybe a Splash OEGB, then? TSC generally goes through Hoovers, and I've seen a lot of OEGBs with the wrong skin color from them recently.

She's a Splash OEGB. What a cutie.

I don't think I've ever seen a splash OEGB. Let alone one with the completely wrong skin color.

Most incorrect skin color in OEGB is yellow.

I was also thinking splash. What is OEGB skin color supposed to be? I hadn't even considered that!

I don't see the yellow you speak of.

Can we get pictures with better lighting?
