TSC bantam bin “Guess what breed” 7 week old… what is it??

[Ocho 8 Farm]

7-8 weeks ago I got some bantams from TSC mixed bantam bin. I know what the others are but I have no clue what this little one is. I think it’s a pullet but I can’t say that with certainty as I have no idea on the breed. Any help is greatly appreciated!!

She looks like a Self Blue Old English Game Bantam.

Lavender (self blue) OEGB. Just rember self blue is not blue.

OMG I was thinking maybe she’s an OEGB! Haha! I definitely had that in the back of my head! Thanks for confirming it for me

Yes. Lavender is a recessive gene (you have to two copies for it to show). Lavender breeds like black.

Yes! Self blue is lavender, which is not blue. Lavender is diluted black.

She is pretty! And Old English Game Bantams are one of my favorites.

I was on the fence about her being an OEGB. I have 2, a roo and a hen, but they are silver duckwing and I got them when they were already over a year old so I never saw them as babies.

She is so sweet too! She is perfectly content sitting on my lap watching the others. My little OEGB hen is also super sweet! I really like this breed too.
