What bantam is this?

[PioneerPrincess]

Hi,

We had posted last summer asking what breed our chick was. Now, he is grown up but we are still wondering what he is. Thank you for all your help!

Not sure on his breed- but he is a very handsome roo!

 

[clairabean]

No idea. But he is one gorgeous roo!

 

[easttxchick]

He sure is pretty. I never would have even guessed he would look like that all grown up!

Some sort of game-mix??? I don't know; but his color is very pretty.

We bought him at a feed store and they said they got their chicks from Ideal. Wouldn't he be purebred?

Haha no. Hatcheries sell birds that aren't purebred all the time.

Looks to me like a mutt. The color is non-recognized, and if anything else, he looks to be a bantam cross of Old English, Serama, or Dutch.

What cross of Dutch, Serama, or English do you think he would be? Thanks!

I think he looks half OEGB, half...

Regardless, he is very handsome! I love those colors! I doubt he has any serama in him, but OEGB and dutch are definite possibilities.
