Definitely an EE and very adorable.

Here were my 2 EEs when they were babies (and an Australorp)

And here's the puffy cheeked one all grown up (after she laid her first egg).

2 EEs, 1 Australorp.

Aw, what a cutie, I love the cheeks!

It's definitely an EE, and so far it's looking like a female Silver Duckwing. My EE is the same, and here is what she looks like as a chick:

And as an adult:

This is my one EE pullet chick. She's probably about 4 weeks old (they're all different ages)

This is my other EE chick who is supposedly a pullet, but the comb says otherwise. The comb is oddly NOT pea-comb like.
