Had a "surprise exotic chick" sent *updated pic*

We had a "surprise exotic chick" sent with our order. Anyone have any idea what it is? We are thinking a Buttercup, but not sure

Also guessing chick is probably a roo since it was free, but have no idea.

He ? is such a sweet chick, and we call him ? puffy cheeks at least for now LOL

Oh he is sooo cute!

I can't wait to see what it is, I think I want some!!

I can't wait to find out either. Though this one wasn't one we planned on, he has soon become my favorite!

Looks like an Easter Egger! They're always exotic!

It's not an Easter Egger, we got 2 of those also. This one is bigger and has a different face, though the coloring is similar to them. This is one of our Easter Eggers:

buttercups don't come bearded.. Im thinking a EE too which wouldn't be the first shipped as a exotic chick.

 

[kyeschicks]

yup! an EE

 

[SarahFair]

Cuuuuuuuuuuute! But are EEs really considered exotic?
It is really super cute! I love how his fethers make hims look a tad chubbed

Looks EE to me: it has that mini-muff that mine has. EE's are mutts by nature, and so they can look TOTALLY different!

I guess EEs can be exotic depending on what they're mixed with! That and the surprise factor--you never know what colour/size they'll turn out--is loads of fun.
Only other thing I can think could be Faverolle mix. Normal # of toes? Even then, if they're mixes you can end up with ones with the normal amt of toes.

WHY does everyone always assume that an unknown bird is an EE? There are many, many other options.

Bantam or standard? Foot feathers or not? Number of toes? Colour
of skin?
