Can you identify the breed of my pullet?

We received this pullet in an order from Cackle Hatchery. We ordered 5 partridge rocks -- we got 4 and this bird. She is really beautiful and we would love to know her breed. Notice the green legs. She has a straight comb. She is just a bit bigger than the partridge rocks of the same age. Her neck feathers are much brighter than the partridge rocks. Thanks for your help!

 
I think it's just a hatchery fluke, she looks like a partridge rock. You get weird leg color or variations in body color or even off combs sometime. All part of the hatchery experience!!
 
I agree with donrae, looks like just a hatchery partridge rock with off color leg, a hatchery fluke

Thanks for your input so far. I may try to take a picture of her next to one of the partridge rocks. Her coloring is completely different when you see her in real life. She almost looks like the pictures of sicilian buttercups we've seen but a little darker, and, of course, she doesn't have the buttercup comb. We also wondered if she could be a beardless EE.

Any other thoughts?
 
I looked at the soles of her feet. They look really light green to me -- almost white.

Are there any other breeds that have green legs besides easter eggers and sicilian buttercups?

To me, she really looks a lot different than the all the partridge rocks -- we noticed it right away when she was still a chick.

Often a Barred Plymouth Rock will have legs so dark they appear green. :idunno
