What breed is this tiny chicken?

Hi all,

Hoping to use your collective knowledge to discover the breed of this chicken. She's very small (only about a pound). Fantastic personality -- very sharp, curious, and not flighty. Thank you!








Here's a picture of her next to a bantam Ameraucana and a red sex-link so you can see her size.

She might be a bantam Speckled Sussex.

She looks to be some sort of mottled old English game.

Thanks, all!

Hmm, someone else mentioned that she might be a spangled Old English Game. But when I searched on Google, I didn't see any with this coloration. The Olandsk Dwarfs seem to have this exact color/pattern and be around the same size. What are some ways to tell the difference between the two breeds?

Thanks again for your help!

She's probably a Mottled Old English Game Bantam.
