Marans chick has...pea comb?

So this girl is 4 weeks old and came from a really nice program..the breeder also raises wheaten ameracaunas..thinking maybe they got mixed up! Breeder has been great and didn't think the two groups had been close to each other in a few months though. Should be a nice Oliver egger though! She does have feathered legs also!

Yes, with the history, that looks to be a Black Copper Marans-Wheaten Ameraucana cross.

And I hate to say this, but with that many rows of peas showing at this age, it is most likely a rooster.
