I would say the most likely bantam breed would either be a Grey Japanese Bantam or a Black Old English Game

She said possible blue d’anvers but I don’t think it looks similar to the chicks of those I’ve seen online. Here are more photos

Do you have a list of possible breeds? Sometimes a list will make it really obvious, because there will be only one possibility, or only a few.

I know Old English Game Bantams can come in black, and so can Japanese Bantams, but so can quite a few other kinds of bantams. And any breeding of "blue" chickens can produce some black offspring as well.

Posted more photos and she said possibly came from her blue d’anvers

D'Anvers ought to have a rose comb (I think I'm seeing single comb, although it is true that rose comb chickens can sometimes produce single comb offspring.)

D'Anvers also ought to have muff/beard (I cannot tell about those on the chick. Sometimes they're visible on newly hatched chicks, sometimes not.)

It looks black instead of blue, but blues usually do produce some black offspring, so that part makes sense.

I guess I'm doubtful, because of the comb and because I am not seeing the muff/beard, but it might be.

It will probably become much more obvious as the chick grows up-- so many chicks look alike, but the adults often look quite a bit different.

hmmm... I guess just post updates in a few weeks so the chick can feather out a little

It has a lot of black to be an oegb.. not sure what it is

It's looking cute, but I don't have any better ideas about what it is yet


OEGB can come in many colors, including solid black.

Posted some update pics

It could still be a bantam. Sebrights are micro chickens, other bantams are mini chickens and large fowl breeds are full fat chickens - at least in my mind!

Thanks! Interesting !

I was just going to say something similar, that Sebrights are smaller than some other bantams.

I guess we'll all keep watching until it grows up enough to know!

It is hard to tell when it is this young. It could be a Croad Langshan but I don't know.
