Hello guys. I’m pretty new to the chicken world. I bought a Barred Rock pullet that is definitely not a Barred Rock. (Thank you Tractor Supply company. 🤦🏻‍♀️) I think she is either a mottled Ancona or a mottled Java. But based on my readings, they seem pretty similar until they are an adult. Can you guys help me out please?
Here are a few pictures I took this morning. (She turns 9 weeks old tomorrow.)

Mottled Javas are larger and have red earlobes. Anconas have a much slimmer build and have white earlobes. I'd say its more likely an Ancona as Mottled Javas a fairly rare.

Looks like an evee type to me. I do like my Heracross type a bit more. What do you think @jw17695?
