What breed is this?

Can anyone tell what kind of bantam this black chicken is? He or she is about 7 weeks old. I have two of them and their tails look larger than my regular chickens and kind of point upwards and their wings look long and point down.

Can you post a photo that shows the comb better?

is the comb a red color or black, my guess is sumatra or other black colored game bird, but a better pic could help us determine breed.

That is another odd thing about them, so far they do not even show the beginnings of their combs yet.

oh and where you got it from

I will try to get a better picture. They are so skiddish that I can't get real close to them.

do you think maybe even a pea comb, because they are slow to develop and sometimes look nonexistent for the first few weeks to a couple months in some of my birds, my roo didn't grow his comb very much at all until he was almost 3 mo. it was red but tiny

It came from Tractor Supply. They had them labeled as only Bantams. This is a pic of when I first got them.

That could very well be the case.

I promise you, there is a comb, you just might not recognize it. Picture please? Can't help until I've got all the pieces of the puzzle.
