Tractor Supply Bantam

[miasria]

I bought this cutie, feather footed bantam a week ago at Tractor supply. I believe he’s a rooster because of his mannerisms and personality but I don’t know what breed he is. Ideas?

Mottled Cochin

Can I have a comb picture? I suspect it's a Light Brahma Bantam

Definitely not a Brahma. Silver Laced Cochin Bantam!

Thank you! I would be surprised if this little cutie was not a rooster. My mom is calling him Pimp! He’s a sweetie but definitely is his own. I may succumb to being one of those who put harnesses and diapers on their pet chicken.

Looks like a cochin (of some sort, I'm not great with that). Best to update around 6 weeks old for gender

Are you keeping him inside on his own? Do keep in mind that chickens prefer to be outdoors and are flock animals.

He’s with many chicks his age and we have them all inside right now. I’m in agreement with you on keeping animals separated.

Here he is now

Rhodebar Lover was right. He's a silver laced Cochin bantam.
