This chick is about 14 weeks.
Could someone please help me determine the breed?
 
It's definitely not a Marans with those yellow legs. The comb is not really developed yet for me to see what type it is in the pic although I'm thinking single comb. If it turns out to be a rose comb, you have a Dominique, but if it is a single comb, you have a Barred Rock. Either way, it's a pullet.
 
Thank You everyone! I didn't know about the white skin vs yellow. I'm new to this.
I do think though she might have a rose comb, there is definitly more than one row.
Here's a better pic...

A rose comb looks like a wedge. It's wide near the beak and narrows towards the back of the head. A pea comb on a pullet is usually a single ridge or 'peas.' She looks like she might have a funky combination of pea comb and single comb.
That Easter Egger should have a pea comb, but instead has a single comb. Colored eggs are unlikely from her.

In this closeup, your barred bird appears to have a single comb so it's a Barred Rock.
