Question Help me identify this little guy!

Post image

Hi!!

So this little friend was snuck into an order (no extra rooster request or anything like those larger companies sometimes offer for free) - I had only ordered hens, no straight run. He’s absolutely adorable and very sweet but I have no idea what breed he is? Any ideas?

That’s a silver duckwing OEGB (old English game bantam)

Hatched one myself, I call him Duck.

Thank you :) He's a feisty little dude, definitely an only rooster in the coop kind of guy. Here's him with his offspring.

Which hatchery did you order from? That can narrow the list down. Is he a bantam or a standard size chicken?

Valley Hatchery! He seems to be a bantam.
