Long blue legs, very small black single comb, gold laced, very skittish. Not sure what color ear lobes she has yet.

What could she be?? I cannot find any gold laced OEG's or Dutch Bantams. She's not a mix, she came from TSC in the bantam bin. I think they get their birds from Mt. Healthy.

(You can't see them well but her friends over on the right are a BB Red OEG pullet and a Silver Duckwing OEG pullet, right? That's what I am guessing by looking at Feathersite. I also ended up with a BB Red OEG roo who is so funny and tame.)
 
She's not a Sebright! I had two of those in the same batch and they were totally different--different combs, different sizes, different looking completely except for the gold lacing. She also looked nothing like the sebrights when they were chicks.
 
She looks like a Golden Seabright Bantam. If you go to the website mypetchicken.com and look under day old chicks you can see a picture of that breed.
 
Hatchery quality birds can come in all shapes, sizes and comb types for a given breed. If the hatchery that your TSC store gets their birds from does not carry Golden Laced OEGB than I would guess she is a Sebright with the wrong comb type.

Are you sure your TSC gets theirs from Mt. Healthy? Ours comes from Ideal and they carry Golden Laced OEGB.
