Day-Old Chick ID - Legbar or Marans?

[davemonkey]

I ordered day-old chicks from Meyer Hatchery (Buff Orps and a Light Brahma), and they gave me an extra girl and roo (their "meal maker" and "homestead helper" freebies).
The closest I could get to ID on the pullet was a White Legbar, BUT, then I noticed tiny and sparse feathering on the feet. So, maybe one of the Marans (except this didn't come with a leg band, so I figured it was just a run-o-the-mill bird).

All pics are of the same chick.

She almost looks like she has puffy cheeks? My Meyer order on 10/14 had a Green Queen for the meal maker, and it seems they've been using that breed for a lot of meal makers lately.

That makes sense with the barely feathered legs. Looks like Green Queen can look like ANYTHING.
I’ve never actually heard of them before now. My last flock was in 2016…and I was focusing on the more common birds back then (except my roo).

They do very wildly. My first order from Meyer’s had a GQ and she looked like a RIR with muffs and beard. I like her so much I included another GQ with this years order and my meal maker will bring me up to three. For the two I got this year, one is a mostly black chick with clean legs, the other is grey…or blue I guess? With moderately feathered legs.

If you do Facebook, there’s a group on there specifically for ID’ing Meyer hatchery chicks and you could post her there for a second opinion.
