Tiny bantam…. What could it be?

[Dunners32]

Hi. Hope someone can help. We have two Pekin bantams hatched 9th August and then 2 polish bantams hatched 21st August. Along with the two polish another hatched and she is still tiny. She is holding her own and for the most part is accepted but she is minute considering she is 11 weeks old. Any clues? Thanks

I don't know, but she looks so sweet in those pictures...

She’s a funny little thing. She’s very docile and tame and happily hops into your hands. She’s only just learning to be a chicken though! Scratching about and perching. She is sooooo small

Can you get better pics of her standing naturally? She looks like a Pekin, but I can't see legs or feet.

I will do tomorrow morning when I let her out. Watch this space…..

Clearer photos would be helpful.

Sorry. Tricky to capture but here she (we hope) is and with HeiHei who is two weeks older. She is called Claudia and is filling out

Looks like a Cochin bantam/Pekin to me, or maybe a cross of that breed. I suspect it is a cockerel due to the early color in the comb, but too early to say for sure.
