What breed is our free chick from mcmurray ?

I just wanted to add that a lot of hatcheries do not vent sex bantams, so there is a decent chance that your little one is NOT a rooster.  He/she actually looks pretty girly to me.  You should know soon enough if it is a silver duckwing.  The males feather in entirely different colors.

Are these the true feathers? And can you tell already what this cutie is?

He's probably an Old English Game or Silver Phoenix.

Thanks. How soon can you sex them? This chick is 1 week old.

He's probably an Old English Game or Silver Phoenix.

Our 3.5 weeks old chick is a boy right?
His comb has grown more than even the other full size chicks but I don't know anything about old English game chickens yet bantam ones.
Do you think too he is a boy?

Did it turn out that he is a silver duckwing? I cannot tell from the pic. If so, the black feathering in the chest is indicative of a cockerel.

I don't know yet what he is for sure.

I'd need to see pics from the back/side to be sure. It is definitely a cockerel, however.

I would guess Silver Phoenix with those blue legs. I agree, he sure looks Silver Duckwing in color. Regardless, as mentioned above, the black on the breast is a good indicator of cockerel.

You know, I didn't even notice the legs. But to be fair, I have gotten a couple of blue-legged Silver Duckwings from Murray McMurray. lol

Thanks everyone. I will try to rehome him and it will help to know what he is
