Anyone know what type of chick this is? 3-4 weeks old. Thanks!

So I picked up some chicks from someone local on this thread today. Their sister won them right before Easter, and wasn't going to keep them. There was a LF Cochin, a Japanese Bantam (we think) and then this one. I'm stumped on what she could be. They were never told what any of them were when they gave them the won chicks. My guess is about 3 1/2 weeks old.

Any thoughts..Anyone? I was thinking GLW when I first saw pictures, or maybe Welsummer, but nope I really don't think so with the feathering. Its not a SB because it doesn't have a double comb. Stumped!

Well if it has a pea comb, you can rule out Wyandottes straight away as they're a rose comb breed, although you can find them occasionally with single combs as well. The colouring is also wrong for it. Welsummers are also a single comb breed as well, I think. Try this link, it may be able to help you in regard to which chicken breeds are generally known for having which combs: http://www.backyardchickenelearning.com/which-chicken-has-what-comb/

Can it be a Golden Penciled Hamburg? Anyone have any ideas? I know it came for a feed store so its not a typical backyard mutt.

Golden Penciled Hamburgs are also a rose comb, not pea comb, breed.

UPDATED PHOTOS. Any thoughts?

Maybe its not a pea comb after all, since its getting bigger it looks different. Or I just don't really know the difference.
