What breed and color am I?

[AOrchard]

This little one came from the assorted bantam bin at TSC, theoretically a Hoover's hatchery chick. Feathered feet but not fluffy cheeks, growth over the last week is sane as my tiny D'Uccle chicks of the same age. I looked through the hatchery's pages and was thinking a buff or maybe red cochin, but the pictures don't show those chicks as being chipmunk, and now there's some black coming in on the wings...

Sounds like a booted bantam : D probably gonna be mille fluer I doubt most hatcheries have rare colors

Oh, those are funky, like D'uccles but without beards and muffs! Thanks, I hadn't even considered those.

That's pretty much all they are! I've had both, they're fun (and not super different!)

Definitely!

... is my booted bantam also turning out to be a frizzle? Or just growing in a bit rough.

I think just growing a bit rough. Give it a week or two and post more pictures.

It doesn't quite look frizzled.. must be just growing in rough.

That's a buff cochin. Sometimes buff birds start out with those dark markings, but eventually grow out of them. I don't think she is a frizzle, just growing in her feathers a little funny (one of my cochins did that, and her feathers flattened out).

She can't be a booted bantam. No hatcheries sell booted bantams, so a feed store wont carry them (since feed stores get chicks from hatcheries). Booted bantams are also rather rare.
