What breed is my pullet?

[KVecchio]

I am a new chicken mama and new to this site! I obtained 5 chicks, all different breeds. I asked for a Buff Orphington however I am pretty sure I did not receive a Buff Orphington. Pictures are attached - can anyone help me determine what breed she is? She is about 8 weeks old and mainly white and gray colored. Thanks for your help!

Could it be a leghorn cross? I don't see an ounce of buff in her. Could you post a pic of her standing as to see her body shape?

Oh yeah...

I can't tell for sure from the photo but it looks like she might have ear tufts. If so, she is an Easter Egger.

Good observation. Have you ever seen an Easter egger leghorn cross?

Not seeing buff Orpington nor Leghorn. Looks like a silkie cross. See the crest and dark skin but it has regular feathers? Probably has five toes, also.

Where did you get her? Did she come from a hatchery or a backyard breeder?

A profile pic of the bird standing naturally is best for breed id. A comb shot would be good to see what she's going on there. At this point I'm thinking she's a mixed breed bird, the guesses are just going to be a mix of what.

I don't know if I have or not. All Easter Eggers are crosses between Araucanas or Ameraucanas and other breeds anyway.

She does look like an Ameraucana

Depending on the comb, she could be an Ameraucana/Leghorn cross. I have some Blue Am/white Leghorn crosses right now and they do look a lot like this bird. They have a modified pea comb instead of a true pea, so I'd need to see a closeup of the comb to be sure.

Also, what color are its legs? That makes a big difference when it comes to knowing EE vs. Ameraucana, and I can't tell from your photo.
