Bantam Chick

[RaeNS]

I have one bantam chick that I am having problems identifying for certain. I got it from Tractor Supply and I believe they get their chick from Privett hatchery. It has feathered feet, no comb development so far and is a smokey brownish gray color with faint striping along the back and head and darker eyeliner. It is about 8 days old in the first two pictures and 5 days in the

At first I thought it might be a either a blue or silver laced cochin, but it has no comb development unlike my others that have straight combs. Now I'm thinking a Light Brahma bantam but the color of the wings coming in is off from pictures I've seen of other light brahma(the ones I've seen are usually a white and black combination). It is feathering in much slower then my others.
Just for fun here are the other 2 bantams I got with that one.

I'm fairly certain they are a Quail D'anver and a mottled D'uccle.

Is it smaller than the other or bigger or same size?

It is bigger then other two but no where as big as the standard chicks I got with them

Dark Brahma

I would love it if it was a dark Brahma pullet. What made me hesitant on dark Brahma is it is such a light chick and the feathers coming in are quite a bit lighter then I was seeing for dark Brahmas.

Update! Mystery chick is now 3 weeks old and is finally getting mor feathers in.

It is finally getting visible body feathers, almost a week behind the others from its group. All the feathers are coming in the same so it is looking more like Dark Brahma Bantam Pullet to me

This chick is now just over 4 weeks old and making me second guess everything.

With how slow the feathers are comin in and how short the tail feathers are I really think this is a cockerel.

Watch the chest feathers as they come in. Black = cockerel, gray penciled = pullet.

This chick is all stages of awkward right now. Shoulder feathers coming in have white edging with dark grey, same on the sides under the wings. Belly feathers have light grey edges with darker grey. Chest feathers are just starting and are dark looking. Head and neck feathers are a combination of straight dark feathers and dark feathers with light edges.
