They gave a mystery chick to my 5yo at a restaurant that had many different chickens, mostly pekin (cochin) bantams, french black copper marans (from France) and isa browns.

The hen with the chicks was a pekin bantam, and chicks were tiny.
But now that s/he is feathering I think at least daddy is a black copper marans.

What do you think, can it be a pekin bantam - bcm hybrid? Also, pullet or roo?

First picture is around 1 week old, other pics are of today, s/he should be around 3.5 to 4 weeks old now.
Its name is Hana/Hans, and we will love it either way. <3

Ty!

How he sleeps on the couch with our daughter 🥰
In a week he is moving permanently with the adult hens (he still sleeps at home with us in a big dog crate) as he is now big enough… and I’m going to miss this so much 🙈

I can't tell you the breed(s), but I think you have a cockerel. Do you have other chicken buddies for him?
Hi! Yes, we have adult hens, with whom s/he spends some hours with. But none of them was a willing mama so he sleeps at home with us until s/he is at least 8 weeks old and move with them.

These are some of our girls, we have 3 isa brown, 2 blue andalusian and 2 black castellanas.
