Meet Havarti - any guesses as to her breed? She’s a 17 week old pullet.

Looks like two different birds, or is it one bird, two different ages? How old in each photo?
Agree photo of bird standing in full profile would help.
Welcome to BYC!😊
I’m laughing - yes that was two different birds. The funniest thing was me trying to get a profile photo of the two right now!! Here’s Havarti in all of her glory. She’s the only chick that is a ham for the camera!

The beard suggests Easter Egger or Olive Egger.

For the best ID it's good to get a standing side profile. :)
Here is a photo of Gouda, who I inadvertently posted the second photo of. Today her beard is much fluffier than usual, but I have the fan on for them bc it’s hot. Thanks for checking 😊

Havarti is definitely a camera hog!😀 Still do not see the saddle feathers. You really need a full body Sideview photo.

Breed guesses for Havarti:
Rhode Island Red
New Hampshire
Production Red

Those three kinds have single combs, red feathers, black tails, and lay brown eggs. They are alike enough that I personally cannot tell them apart, although I know that some other people can.

There is also a chance she is some kind of Easter Egger, because some of the hatcheries have started selling beardless red Easter Eggers with single combs. If she lays blue or green eggs, that will prove she's an Easter Egger.
