I originally thought this might be a partridge rock but now think it may be a partridge chantecler. There is no comb or wattles as of yet. This chicken is 13-14 weeks old.

Looks like a welsummer to me
Not the right feather pattern for a Welsummer and wrong type of comb, definitely a Partridge Chantecler

I see so may different looking younger Partridge Chantecler's on all websites/forums. My girls/guys all look so different, I find some pictures look more like Welsummer's (I have some of those too) way more than they look like Partridge Chantecler. Mine are about 12 weeks old, a few of them have feathered feet. I think they are gorgeous - but they don't look like other Partridge Chantecler? I kid you not, these picture's don't do justice to how colorful these chickens are - it's stunning really, don't you think? I have some others mixed in with the PC's...




 
She looks alot like my Ethyl when she was younger. Most of my girls were really dark as pullets, but Ethyl was lighter like your girl. They do seem to vary alot in color when they're young. They're a lovely breed though. When I first started with chicken, Chentechlers were the breed I chose. I had 8 hens and a rooster and every one of them was calm and friendly. The hens were great layers and mommas and my rooster was a big fluffy ball of love. I sure do miss them! Ethyl was 7 or 8 when she passed away last summer, I can't remember I had her what seemed like forever! Here she is as an old gal :)

Aww...that's sweet! I have 34 free range Heritage chickens and it's only this group that hang around the porch waiting for me to come out. They all want turns being picked up and pet, so adorable, calm and loving breed. They are my favorite bunch. I will continue to breed them, as hobby chicken farming just wouldn't be the same without them

Ahhh...success! I found out I have 4 Partridge Brahma's not Partridge Chantecler's! That explains the blue down & feathered feet. I wish some chicken breeders actually knew what they had

I'm quite happy with that, now I can continue my breeding program
