Can anyone Tell me what breed my Lily is?

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows what breed my Lily is? shes literally about 1 pound, not much bigger than a pigeon. I don't think she has ever laid an egg and she squeaks rather than chicken noises. She has a beard but doesnt really look like my other Easter Egg Chickens. She came in an assorted bantam order from a hatchery last March.

Bantam lavender Amerecauna?

Looks like an EE to me but I’m no expert

Bantam blue Ameraucana (her neck is darker than her body, therefore blue, not Lavender) I think she has leg mites. You might want to smear some oil on her legs.

She looks like a bantam ameraucana, or possibly a bantam easter egger. It looks like she has scaly leg mites, could you get a clearer picture of her legs?

Thank you, How can I get rid of them if so? Dirt bathes?

I can tomorrow. tonight its too dark in coop and shes so tiny she hides under the larger chickens. thanks

Which hatchery? That will tell you if it's a EE or Ameraucana, or Auracana. Im thinking th latter, because she looks to be rumpless.

Oh, she's a little dear! There aren't any hatcheries that offer true bantam Ameraucanas (trust me, if there were, I'd be snagging them up! ), so she's an Easter Egger. If you look on Cackle's website, I believe there's a picture of a bantam Blue EE, which is definitely a possibility.
