Could be a splash then.

Ah!!! Didn't know that!! Thank you!

This is my first time incubating and my first egg to hatch. He hatched yesterday.

I'm new to bantams. Used to plymouth white rock and rhode islands. So I just assumed it would be blue

 

[PoultryQueen101]

When blue (Bl bl) variety males are crossed with blue (Bl bl) variety females, the ratio of colors produced is as follows: 1 black (bl bl), 2 blue (Bl bl) and 1 splash (Bl Bl) (white with a blue cast). Any blue variety ordered from Ideal Poultry may include black, blue or splash chicks.

what Ideal says about blue birds

You are aware dad is not D'Anver right?

 

[foggyforkfarm]

What is he? I'm trying to figure all these breeds out.

This is a true d'anver rooster
rose comb, muffed, bearded.

um...as for your rooster.. maybe an undubbed old english? A game bird for sure.

You're right, PoultryQueen101, there are rose combed Rhode Island Reds. The first type I thought of was the single comb RIR, when I made the post, as they are the more common variety.

 

[PoultryQueen101]

Yeah, I understand
Though... the chick is now a juvenile. Sweet little cockerel he is, we just dont know where to put him...

Old English Game Bantams don't have beards/muffs... maybe a d'anver/OEGB mix? I agree that the chick is a splash, tho...
