What breed is this?

[ash_en_em]

My neighbor ordered a dozen pullets, and got a "bonus" pullet. It's smaller than the dual purpose he ordered and getting picked on. He offered to give her to me, but I'd like to figure out her breed and if she'll get along ok with my 4 Australorps. This is the pic he sent me, and I'll be going over in a couple days to meet her. For now though, can any of you help ne figure out what breed she is?
Thanks in advance!

Going by the coloring alone, I would guess Easter egger. But the picture doesn't show much of the bird clearly, so that is not definite.

It looks like your neighbor has Cornish cross meat birds rather than dual purpose chickens.

It's not clear enough of a photo to tell what kind, maybe easter egger, but I wanted to mention that any new bird will not be accepted by your current chickens without a careful introduction period. Look up threads/articles on how to integrate newcomers. I was also wondering if the white chickens were meat birds.....

He said dual purpose? He did mention he would be eating them, but that his wife wants the eggs and he planned on breeding them. Don't know much else, except he got a bonus pullet and that he's willing to give her to me

I kind of thought EE too, but I'm still new to chickens. I will definately pay better pics once I'm there to take them. He's by no means a photographer lol

I agree with Jed in that your neighbor received what appear to be Cornish X - if so their lifespan will sadly be quite limited.

If they are indeed Cornish X meat birds, then he may want to keep that brown pullet as the only egg layer....

He wants to get rid of it, and i'm happy to take it. I was just curious what type of chicken it is.

That chick sure has pretty coloring! I can't wait to see a photo after you get it! How old are your Australorps? My Australorps are super docile with the other birds.

Most likely an Easter Egger.

They'll be 6 months the beginning of October. I think he said the possible EE is 18 weeks or so? If so, she should start to lay someone soon
