Exotic mystery chick ID take 3...the chick line up.

Once again I will type my order from murry mcmurray. Their extra chicks (i didnt ask for and their free mystery exotic chick are driving me nuts.

Ok I ordered
8 Buff O hens
1 Buff O rooster
2 buff laced polish hens
2 buttercup hens
2 whiting true blue hens
2 whiting true green hens.

That's a total of 17 chicks. + 1 free exotic mystery chick = 18 chicks

So the peeps arrive and there are 20 in the box. I have no idea which bird is the exotic mystery chick and i should add i carefully planned 1 buff O rooster so the extra chicks should they be males may not be so great for me.

Anyhow here goes a chick line up

So here are 2 buttercups. Fairly certain

And here are 100% without a doubt buff laced polish

So That's 4 chicks

Now on to the buff orphingtons. Remember I asked for 8 girls and 1 boy. Thats 9 ..
Somehow i have 11. Not 100% sure all 11 are buff O but they all appear to be to me.

That's 15 chicks and that leaves 5.
Un-accounted for are 2 true blue and 2 true green and the "exotic mystery free chick"

This pair looks somewhat similar. Not sure if they are true blue or true green but they look alike

Then this black chick which after looking at photos on murry mcmurray website i learned true blue and true green can in fact be black as peeps.

Also thinking he could be the mystery chick

Then this chick that I showed yesterday thats a lighter shade of creme than a buff O. Its the only chick in the brooder that looks like this. Someone here on byc says its most likely a true blue or true green. Or is it my exotic?

And last but not least. My most friendly girl (i hope shes a girl) she flys to my hand. Hops on my shoulder. Follows me around the yard. Shes also the biggest chick far more advanced than all the others. Not sure what she is but she sure is pretty. Assumed she was true blue or true green but what the heck could be free exotic?

So that's all 20. I understand whiting true blue/greens can be any color just trying to figure out whos my exotic mystery chick and what it is.

So can you help me solve this mystery?
Thanks to all who reply and God Bless
 
In your picture with the Orpingtons, the one on the far right looks to have yellow legs. If so it isn't an Orpington.

If it helps, my true greens were all red based birds with single combs. All my true blues had pea combs. Some had muffs, some didn't.

What color legs does that last chick have? Wondering if it's a Bielefelder cockerel.
