What Type of Bantam is this?

[TundraFang]

I got him from my local feed store in a bin labeled "bantams". I'm new to chickens and didn't realize there's so many types of bantams

White Japanese.

Thank you!

Yeah looks like it!

Definitely not a purebred bird. Probably a Japanese bantam cross

He might not be. He doesn't have the extra toes that I've read "true" bantams have.

What do you mean extra toes? All bantams except silkies have 4 toes, rule

Oh okay. Sorry. I read an article that said bantams have 5 toes instead of the usual 4. Guess I'll have to pay closer attention to where I get my information.

What makes you think he's not purebred?

Looks like a hatchery type white Japanese. His legs are long for that breed, but that doesn't mean he is not purebred, just not perfect.
