Help ID chick from McMurray rainbow layer assortment

Thread Starter 

I visited someone who is selling 11 day old chicks from the rainbow layer assortment. I went with the plan of getting 3 barred rocks, which are easy to ID. My kids fell in love with this super friendly cutie. Any ideas of what she could be? Long story that we won't be picking up our birds for another week, so I need to decide whether to stick with my original plan, or take the mystery gal.

The seller was guessing Wyandotte. I'm thinking EE/Auraconda/Americaconda.

 

thanks,.

So Cute!

I have 2 cats, 1 Golden Retriever, 2 gold fish, and now 13 chickens. :)

Tough Cookie (T.C.) Cleo, at 6 weeks old, died in April 2012. Kanaliha Cleo, at 9 weeks old, died on May 14, 2013. They are greatly missed.
