It's a pullet, not an australorp however. This bird has a crest, australorp do not

Pullet for sure, and a pretty one, too. Here's my blue Australorp girl, all grown up.

How interesting - thank you so much!! I brought home three other chicks that same day. I know I can cancel out Welsummer for obvious reasons. Would you think olive egger or lavender Orpington? Or a mystery breed haha!

I see feathered feet, she might have marans in her. I'd say it's possible she's an OE, we will know for sure once she stars laying
