What is this chicken??

[CozyCove]

I got this chick at Atwoods in a bin of mixed bantams. I assumed they were all pure breeds because I got a Sebright and a silkie too. But I have no idea what this one is! It has a black patch on the front of its comb...not frostbite. It lives inside so far and has only been out when it’s > 70 degrees. It’s 6-7 weeks old. I didn’t get a pic when it was younger but it was the same color before it got feathers, including that white spot. It’s also one of the friendliest chicks I’ve ever had.

Does anyone know what it could be? Is it just a mix?

Its a cockerel, regardless of breed.

Agree. Possible Olive Egger or Easter Egger.

Adorable little cockerel. No idea what he is, though!

Thanks! I kind of thought so with that red comb

Oh that would make sense, thanks!

It looks like the little sebright mixes I sell when I'm not selling pure bred silver and golden laced sebrights and have everyone together.
Not sure though, but definitely looks like a boy!

That’s interesting. I definitely think he’s a little smaller than my bantam EEs were at his age.

He is super cute!

Looks like he could be a blue Dutch bantam.
