mystery chick from local CO-OP

She's beautiful!
Her bottoms of her feet seemed to have changed, so she may not be a Sapphire Gem? And Australorps should have white bottoms. She could be some sort of "Egger" breed. Breeds like Easter Eggers that lay blue eggs.
Her eyes most likely will change with more time.

thank you! all i have had to compare her to with this flock are Jersey Giants and 1 Blue Cuckoo Maran.
their eyes have all changed already!
she’s definitely changed since the first few photos i posted!
she’s the most inquisitive and curious chicken i’ve ever had!!!
she’s as sweet as they come!
i’ll be back in a few months with an update on what color of egg she lays!

here are better quality photos of her.

I now just noticed she has some gold/brown leakage in her neck. So that means she's probably not a Australorp. I think Sapphire Gems can get that, but I'm not 100% sure.
But I'm going with what I said before, that she's some sort of Egger. So I expect her to lay blue eggs!

Whatever she is, she is a beautiful bird!

She looks similar to a blue orpington I have. Feather coloring is same and feet too. My orpington lays big brown eggs.

i’ll definitely keep you posted on what kind of eggs she ends up laying!
when i emailed the hatchery, i specifically asked if they carried Sapphire Gems — they don’t… it’s such an odd thing!
i just keep telling myself that she’s 100% chicken!

does your Blue Orpington have copper coloring in her neck?
this is interesting!

I wonder if she was an "oops"— a mutt?

hello, i’m back with an update on Noah, our mystery chick!
i’m looking for any advice or opinion on what breed Noah could be?
i should note that she was selected from a Black Australorp bin.
her coloring is a smidge lighter in person.
she is most assuredly grey and not black.
thank you in advance!

she`s a pretty bird! She looks quite a bit like my Blue Jersey Giant pullets. They have the typical slightly yellow bottoms of their feet.
