Imposter Chicken? Please Help Identify This Bird

[TheUrbanUndertaking]

Alright, so I picked up my girl a few months ago (she's about 2 months old), so it may be too early to tell, but I'm curious if she's actually the breed I thought she'd be. She was supposed to be a Fibro Easter Egger, but as she's gotten bigger, she's not displaying many of the physical characteristics I expected. She has a gorgeous green sheen and tight feathers, with practically no comb.

She also loved to fly and perch on my head and shoulders as a little chick (and was by far the best at it). She's more of a loner and likes to forage by herself when she leaves the coop. I have a guess as to what she might be, but wanted to see if anyone else had some ideas.

Once she starts laying we'll know for sure, but in the meantime I just cannot get over that she doesn't seem to be the Easter Egger I expected. So, what do you think?

I would guess Black australorp but I'm not 100% certain.

I think she might be a Fibro EE. She may not have inherited any muffs, but she has the right comb and melanization and everything. Wrong comb for an Australorp.

Unfortunately a Fibro Easter Egger isn't a breed nor is an Easter Egger so there's no standard for them.
There's nothing set in stone as to how they should look. Also unfortunately an Easter Egger isn't even expected to lay blue or green eggs at this point.
I would assume a Fibro Easter Egger was meant to be a cross to achieve a black skinned EE.
Many people sell what should still be considered a project as the finished project. Others sell fibro birds that are the best example of fibro.
I would guess yours is exactly what it was sold to you as. It clearly has fibro genes and I'd expect that breeder at least used something said to be an EE in the project.
Now if it actually lays colored eggs will be up in the air until it starts laying but that's typical with EEs theses days.
I'd assume you were expecting muffs, pea comb etc as most all EEs used to have. The EEs have now expanded far from what they used to be so now their is no certain look they should have.

I agree, I do think you got what you paid for, as @The Moonshiner said, easter eggers can look like pretty much anything an easter egger is pretty much just a term for a mixed breed that lays colored eggs

There's no reason to believe she's not a fibro Easter egger

 

[The Moonshiner]

There's more reason to believe she's nor a fibro Easter egger

Now I'm curious as to why?

Sorry, autocorrect.

We actually have a Black Australorp the same age to compare her to, and they're very different! She's much leaner, where the BA already has her comb and looks much more like a 'traditional' chicken.

Definitely not a black Australorp, BAs are black but not fibro and the comb is the wrong type
