Rare Breed ID

Looks like a poorly colored Lakenvelder. All the hatchery Lakenvelders I have seen don't look like the pictures; they have more of a streaky look to their black, and they don't have the pure white bodies, but have stray colored feathers here and there on them.

Here is a little something to digest, don't think that just because you marked the box that you wanted a Rare or Exotic bird that it is, in fact rare or exotic. MM, from experience, gives you a free bird and it is a whatever free bird and not necessarily rare or exotic. Last fall I got an EE boy and a Red Star pullet, this month I got a bantam that I haven't quite figured out, but it may be a cochin of some variety. Don't get so focused on it being only one of the rare or exotics. It does, however, look like a Lakenvelder at this point from the pictures.

Thanks for the replies everyone! We both think Lakenvelder is the breed, but we'll just have to see how he looks as he gets older, maybe he'll turn out looking more like it.
