I wanted to try out some different breeds this year then I've had in the past. Family farm and home had buff orpingtons and barred plymouth rocks in the same brooder so I bought 2 of each along with some other breeds. They are a little over 2 weeks right now. Now that the wing feathers are coming in, I'm thinking one of my "barred plymouth rocks" was a different breed that was slipped into the wrong brooder. The other chicks wings have the distinct barred pattern. This chick just has black with solid white feathers towards her stomach. Her beak and feet also look different then the barred chick. What could she be? Any help is appreciated! It's no big deal either way as I just keep them for eggs and I really prefer a mixed flock anyways.

Looks like an Easter Egger.
 
I am no expert but I have some black sex link chicks that look very similar. They're younger though. Even has that little bit of white on the wing tips.

Mixed breed or Easter Egger. Has a beard and pea comb which points to this
Yup, that's what I'm thinking. She must of got stuck in with the barred rocks by mistake. They are almost 6 weeks now and it's very obvious that she's NOT a barred rock lol. Either way this batch is so curious and funny, they've been a joy raising but alas out to the garage they'll go next week with heat lamps.
