EE's can have any color legs. But I agree, it's most likely the white orloff.

Actually, there are a number of bearded breeds in that list. EE, Orloff, and antwerp belgian.

I doubt this chick is an EE, because a hatchery with a scrupulous enough program to make bantam Orloffs probably wouldn't produce an EE chick with light legs (the 'ideal' EE should have slate or willow legs).

It could either be an Orloff, or the Antwerp Belgian (also called a d'Anvers). Watch the comb while it develops. If it starts a rose comb and the legs darken a bit, it's a d'Anvers. If the comb develops into a rasberry or walnut, it's an Orloff.
