New bantam chick

So we recently bought a few chicks from tractor supply, one my daughter just had to have was a bantam. Not sure what type though . Hopeing someone can help. Was told a TS that it was a mix run . Gray when we got him, he is now 3 weeks and feathers are still gray w/ feathers on feet from time we got him 3 weeks ago.

Self Blue/Lavender D'uccle. Definitely not a cochin because it has a beard and muffs. Some would say three weeks is too young to sex the chick, but it looks like a definite pullet based on feather development. A cockerel would have a much more prominent comb and less adult feathers at that age. Cute and beautiful chick. A couple of years ago I got some assorted bantams from tractor supply and got the exact same thing. A self blue D'uccle hen, as well as a self blue mille fleur D'uccle hen. Great little birds with tons of personality.
