Any ideas on breed?

Grabbed 4 chicks from Easter Egger bin. Three look the same, like the others I've had. Then there is this one. Can Easter Eggers look like her or any idea what she is?

Mixed breed, possibly EE. And by the looks of the tail feathers, I would say that "she" is a "he." I would need a better picture to tell for sure though.

agree

He looks different cause he's a he, not a she. Being male is what gives him that different coloring, leggy/unfinished look, and redder comb.

Yup Easter Egger cockerel. And wow what a pattern, he's gonna be gorgeous.

Bummer. I have no desire for a male... 'He' was born at the beginning of March. I already gave away a male white leghorn that is the same age that already had a very pronounced male comb. Do EEs take longer to develop the combs? When would I expect to see the comb form, being that it is about 11 weeks old?

He's got a pretty good comb now. It won't get a lot bigger, just redder.

Here are a couple more pics I just took. Still think it's a male? Guess I was just expecting a much larger, more pronounce comb. The one I just gave away was huge compared to this one, and they were the same age.

They have totally different comb types. Yours has a pea comb which stays small and low to the head. Your Leghorn has a single comb which is thin, tall, and has points. Pea combs were developed to prevent frostbite.
