What Breed is This Beautiful Bantam?

[Galaxy Pickle]

I got this wee one from an assorted bin at TSC a little over 2 months ago. I’ve added a photo from about the 1 month mark and then today. I’ve looked up different breeds and haven’t seen one that even remotely looks like her. You can also kind of see in the photo that she has blue/purple feather mixed in.

I appreciate any help!!

I believe he is an Old English Game bantam.

Welcome to BYC!

she's a he for starters.

Doesn't look like a breed I'm familiar with or anything I would consider a pure pattern.. which make me think possible EE or OE.

However.. I'm very unfamiliar with the games.. My TSC orders from Hoovers and they don't offer bantam EE/OE best I can tell.. they do have assorted old English game bantams.. I'm not sure if this is what silver duckwing looks like in it's juvenile phase. The green and purle are just iridescence from the black. Do you know which hatchery your TSC uses? That helps narrow down possibilities.

Definitely a cockerel. I'd agree on OEGB, not sure on the color, silver duckwing doesn't look like that on an adult bird, but it might be the juvenile stage

Looks like a hatchery quality silver duckwing OEGB cockerel to me. Cute little guy, isn't he?

Yes, a silver duckwing Old English game bantam cockerel.

This is my silver duckwing OEGB roo at about the same age so I am going to agree that is what yours is as well

I have one who looks just like yours that I got from TS about 8 weeks ago (May 2nd I believe it was). He started trying to crow at about 4-5 weeks old. He's got it down pretty good now lol. Mine is so sweet (I pray that he stays that way). He loves being held, and loves attention. When I'm bending down cleaning waterers or anything else in the coop, he jumps up on my shoulder or back. I say he's my pocket rooster with Little Man Syndrome lol. I posted a pick of mine when he was a little asking if anyone knew what he was and I was told the same thing. Silver Duckwing OEGB (Old English Game Bantam). If I remember, I'll share a picture of my little man here tomorrow.
