Free chick from Mcmurray. What am I?

[BekahBear]

title says it all. i just got my chicks from McMurray Hatchery this morning and through process of elimination i figured out that this little guy/girl is the "free rare chick". any ideas what breed it is? i brought him/her outside and snapped some quick pics in natural lighting to try to show the true color/pattern.

She almost looks like my speckled sussex chick, except she does not have the dark on her nose.


Could also be an Easter Egger?

im pretty sure its not an EE. it has a single comb, is smaller than my EE chicks, and doesn't have the tell tale dark legs or puffy cheeks.

i almost mistook it for a speckled sussex chick at first (i got a few of those and it does look a bit similar.) but this chick is more grey in color than they are and the pattern is a little different when you put them side by side.

i think i may have answered my own question. i did some research and looked at the "rare" breeds list from McMurray and i think the chick might be a Silver Leghorn. s/he sure is a cutey whatever s/he is.

Silver leghorn or silver phoenix, when it gets older and its legs go grey its a phoenix, if they stay yellow leghorn.
