Thank you everyone ! It was a hatchery extra and we are still new with chick identifying.

You got lucky to get her as an extra. I have 3 young girls and a young boy over here that I got from a breeder that I am growing out. The one's that I have will lay those pretty blue eggs.

It looks sort of like a crested cream legbar. Maybe a mix?

I also think you have some legbar in there. Pretty chick!

Color isn't right for cream legbar. Mix or some other crested breed. What hatchery?

Meyer is making Olive Eggers, too. I suspect that's why she looks a bit off, she's only half CCL.

"Meyer Hatchery has set up two different breeding programs to offer a variety of chicks! Our Olive Eggers were created by crossing some of our foundation stock of Cream Legbars, Black Copper Marans, Welsummers, and Blue Ameraucanas. Our F1 generation hybrids do typically lay an olive colored egg, however, the olive can be in various shades and the potential does exist to lay eggs of different colors."
