Help me ID this chick

[Livingthehenlife]

We hatched a rainbow clutch of chicks and ordered an assortment. This Chick is a complete mystery to me. She’s supposed to be a colored egg layer (Wheaten or White EE) but she looks like a leghorn to me. She’s two weeks old today.

It’s likely a wheaten Easter egger, or possibly white. I can see the legs are getting a dark color, which is not indicative of a leghorn. Their legs should stay orange and possibly change to pinkish white.

Thank you! That’s why I got a shot of those lovely legs!

No problem! Also, leghorns will have a single comb and a smaller stature. Easter eggers should have a pea comb.
