I'm nervous about this one mainly because of the saddle feathers. What do you think?

I think pullet -at ten weeks i'd expect larger combs and wattles. Not sure about the saddle feathers, though.

wow!! Thank you! I did get 5, all different breeds, and they got mixed up. She is my daughter's favorite and such a sweatheart, so happy to hear and get the validation she is a she (and what breed)!! Thanks everyone

Easter Eggers are often sold and labelled as Ameraucanas or Americanas, so it's likely there wasn't a mix-up. Easter Eggers are actually not a breed but a mix, usually related to Ameraucanas. They can lay brown, blue, or green eggs. They are the best chickens in my opinion!
