That little one is a University of Arkansas Blue egg layer. They are a Blue, black, splash breed.

Do they develop the muffs and beards?

Not really. This is a splash



This is a blue one.

IDK, I give up, just might as well wait to see what feathers come in.

I've had quite a few hatch out that color, they turn out a partridge patterned color.

I'm gonna guess GL Wyandotte. I seems to have a wide stance but fine legs, and not quite right coloring for a DC.

While it is definitely possible to have single comb Wyandottes, it isn't desirable. GLWs don't start really looking like GLWs until 3-5 weeks old.

What hatchery did it come from? That can help us narrow down what it might be. It looks to me like it'll either be partridge or gold laced when grown. Could be a Partridge Rock?
