Perhaps a maran or olive egger.

I agree with nuthatched, but I think there is also a slight possibility it could be a Langshan or hatchery type Cochin. Most likely the breeds already mentioned, though.

Thank for your response!! I appreciate your help! This is the same chick 1 week later. She is suppose to be a hen, but I’m starting to think I might have a roo with that comb. Is it too early to tell? I believe this chick is 3-4 weeks old. Thanks in advance for any advice!

Sometimes you get an obvious cockerel that early on (magenta or red comb already, already getting dangly wattles, etc). In your case, I wouldn’t call it yet. Straight comb breeds can look rooster-ish early on just because their combs stick up more.

Here is my male silver laced wyandotte at various ages to show an obvious cockerel. Ages in weeks are on the photos.

Maybe a jersey giant? I have one and it looked like that when it was little (haven't any pics)

Or a croad langlash. 1st image is a jersey and 2nd is a croad

Not a Jersey Giant because the title says "lightly feathered down the legs."
Jersey Giants would have clean legs.

Yeah, that is just what I remember my french black copper maran looking like at that age. They are easy to sell if they are a rooster, but we'll have to wait and see.
