Meal maker from Meyer

[MysteryChicken]

Hi! Would love to know what breed our meal maker from Meyer is. It's 8 weeks old in these pictures and also a baby picture from a few days old.
Thank you!

Looks like a Welbar, I see faint barring on your bird, & the chick appears to have a faint headspot.

Nope not a welbar. Meyer apparently doesn't carry those.

The calendar that Meyer posts that tells you what the meal-maker is that week is not always accurate (at least it was not accurate fo me last year when I got chicks). According to the calendar, I was supposed to get a Golden Buff (golden comet), but it was a black chick that ended up being (I think) a Black Jersey Giant.

Sometimes Olive Eggers are a cross of Welsummer and Cream Legbar. I don't see a crest on OP's bird, so probably not that exact cross, but maybe from a breeding program that includes both breeds. (If it grows up to lay olive or green eggs. If not, then of course it's something else.)

It kind of looks like a brown leghorn maybe?

my olive egger looks a lot like yours. What kind of comb does yours have? Mine looked like a single comb, but it now does not look like the single comb or peacomb. It looks more like a combination of both.

meyer meal makers do not come banded, because I’m sure the bands do cost a fee when you are shipping hundreds a week.

I can't quite tell yet, identifying the combs is new to me!
