A little mystery chick with feathered legs. What could she be?

We got this little mystery chick from a local breeder when we picked up some EE chicks. I will try and get some better photos of her, she's half the size of the EE chicks that are about the same age. (approx. 2 weeks?)

I was going to say silver laced Cochin, but what color are her legs?  Are they dark?  Maybe she's a mix like the EEs too..... Cute!

They look almost the same, except the light Brahma dont have the feathering on the wings.

Yes her legs are a dark blue/green. It should be interesting to see what she looks like all grown up.

I'd guess a mix of EE & Cochin....
