Six weeks old pullet from Hoover Hatchery from rare egg layer pack. Feathered legs. Could it be a salmon faverol?

From the picture it looks like she has four toes, if that's the case she wouldn't be a Faverolle. Unless hatchery Faverolles are missing that key trait!

Single combed, feathered leg purebreds would be buff cochin, maybe a non-standard wheaten marans- or, it could be an olive egger based on what Hoovers has available.

IDing her breed/heritage may come down to what color egg she lays!

She's pretty regardless, and it will be interesting to see what her adult feathers look like.

That's what I figured. I might have to wait to see an egg. There are also some dark ones, scalloped designs in their feathers with feathered feet I think might be some type of marans. That is the "problem" of ordering the different "packages" from the hatchery. Took me two years to figure out I had a Russian Orloff and I still have some I don't know what they are, black with dark legs that lays blue eggs and two splash (dark legs) that lay blue eggs. Some kinds of EE's, I guess.
 
I think it's a Wheaten Marans. They have a picture of them in their assorted Marans entry that looks like her.
Makes sense!! The small black ticking on the end of her feathers threw me. Have one wheaten marans in the brooder, one pipping, and ten more torturing me with no movement yet- how is hatch day so stressful/fun?
 
If it the feathered foot has a single comb I'd guess partridge cochin, if it's a pea comb partridge brahma.

For the clean legged, if it's a single comb I'd guess partridge rock, and if it's a pea comb my guess would be easter egger.
 
Not a pea comb, plus my EE's (My favorites so I always keep some) have greenish or greyish legs. My two roos are Ameraucanas (not EE's) so I can make more EE's as needed
