Chipmunk? Squirrel? Chicken?

What a beautiful chick!

Don't think it's an EE - the new pics show yellow legs, no beard, and what appears to be a single comb. Maybe Welsummer? I think the legs are the wrong colour for Sussex.

I know this thread is pretty old, but I was curious who this little chick turned into eventually? It's hard to believe how all my mystery chicks have grown into themselves.

It looks like an Easter Egger

Thanks for the update. My Easter Eggers changed dramatically as they got their feathers (and they both are boys, so I'm sure they will change a lot more)-- now, one is all browns and reds and some greens and is going to be a very colorful boy. The other is black and white with very puffy cheeks and he's starting to get a bunch of orange coming in. I'm amazed at the variety in their coloration.

Hi there! Believe it or not, she turned into a Dark Cornish. She's mostly black now, with just a bit of brown on the tips of her feathers. I'll post a picture in a while. Thanks for the interest.

ColoradoLyssah, I totally believe it! I had 6 mystery chicks from Meyer who all turned into Dark Cornish. Now I'm just trying to figure out their genders, darn little guys are hard to distinguish!

That explains why she had a pea comb, but did't have a pea comb, muffs, or a beard!

 

[ColoradoLyssah]

Wow, all 6 of them were Dark Cornish?! I think I got lucky and she is a hen.

Thank you for your guesses back then. Are you good at sexing Barred Plymouth Rocks? We have a mystery chick that looks like both; we can't figure it out, and it's making us crazy! He-she is 9 weeks old, no cock-a-doodle-do.
