Started our first backyard coop! So far everything is off to a great start and have already learned so much from many of your posts.

My first true question is can anyone help me identify what breed my little bantam roo is. He is 6.5 weeks old.

Originally I was told he was an Easter Egger bantam and a she.. lol .. my Mable is a Maverick. However, as he grows size wise compared to my hens he is all bantam and now I’m trying to figure out which breed exactly.

I’ve been landing with an Old English possibly but not sure. Trying to get an idea of what his coloring will look like.

Also, still can’t figure out a good rooster name for him so would love suggestions.

Chick pic- him at 1.5 weeks
Middle size pic in my hand- him at 3 weeks
In the grass- 6 weeks most recent.

Welcome to BYC!! I know there have been several name threads, so you could look for one of those!

Hello Chrissy, and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
I'm not sure what breed your little bantam cockerel is. Maybe some OEGB in there.
