Some type of game bird, but we need to see a side view of the body and leg color.

how's this that does make sense im new to chickens but that bird does act a little more wild

I'm not a bantam expert (my parents don't think they're worth it *pout*) but it looks some sort of bantam. And whoa, those are reeeeealy long spurs!

Hmmm...it doesn't really have a gamey body, but it is probably a "barnyard special" of some sort. The legs look like a mottled blue?

I'm hoping someone else that has bantams or game birds will come along and tell you the mix.

Good luck!

Tell your parents that they are amazing fly catchers!

I wasn't planning on ever having any, but I realized how good they were since I didn't replace my OEGB that was killed by a hawk last year.

One time, I was getting ready to feed her and my dark cornish treats, and while she was looking at the treat, a fly buzzed up, she never broke eye contact, and snatched it right out of the air!

I was impressed!
