?FFH Mystery Chick?

[crazy4ChickensNducks]

I picked up this little chick at Family farm and home on Sunday. the bins were not labeled and the employees were clueless as to what breed this little chick is. what is she? I am thinking easter egger But she doesn't have the common easter egger green legs. Which I know it is not uncommon for EE's to have yellow legs as they are mutts.

I know a lot of chicks look alike to a not-perfectly-trained eye like mine, so there are likely several possibilities, but it looks like a Welsummer to me

Could be Welsummer, or even Brown Leghorn. Too cute!

Speckled Sussex ?

You guys don’t think Easter Egger? I don’t think FFH would have those rare breeds
But if it turns out to be one of those breeds you guys guessed I wouldn’t be complaining!

I have both EEs, Welsumers, and Speckled Sussex and they all look like that when they were 2-3 wks old, I will say Welsumer mix.

While it's possible for an Easter Egger to be beardless, sport a single comb, and have yellow/pink legs, the chances aren't high. Not sure I would consider any of the possible breeds "rare," but....

Speckled Sussex could be an option, especially if there's a white bib present. Brown chest down often indicates wildtype rather than spangled.

If I remember correctly the chick is pea combed, I will try to get a pic tomorrow.
Those are all breeds I don’t have except the brown leghorn which I just got a few days ago! I have really wanted a speckled Sussex and a welsummer for quite some time

I'd guess Welsummer or Speckled Sussex as well....I've got a sussex out in my brooder right now that looks very similar.

Some kind of game mix maybe? I've never seen one like it, it could be a rare one? There just ain't no dang tellin!
