Mystery Chick

[JFreeman]

Any idea what breed this chick is? I just received an order this week, and I'm thinking this is the mystery chick I was sent. The hatchery would probably be better off if they notified what the surprise was after it was received at least...

Do I need to wait until she is older before I know what breed the chick is?

Is the chick from McMurray?

Not sure what it is but it sure is freaking cute, love the little bandit mask it's got. What color are it's legs?

From what the picture looks like, it reminds me of my partridge rock chick. The only is, I cant tell if the comb on yours is straight or a rose....

It is from McMurray Hatchery. The leg color is the same color as the Golden Laced Polish, not exactly sure what color you would call it... brown? Gray maybe? Here's a link for a picture reference: http://www.mypetchicken.com/catalog/Day-Old-Baby-Chicks/Golden-Laced-Polish-p374.aspx, but it definitely isn't a polish. Definitely not the typical yellow feet like on the Wyandottes, Houdans, or Sussex (all I have). I tried to get a picture of it, but I couldn't get the lighting right. I looked through every video the hatchery has on youtube and couldn't find anything that looks like it. I thought I looked through all the pictures, too, and couldn't find anything that looks like it. The feather colors resemble the Sussex, but bands over the eyes are wider, and there aren't any strips along it's back.

How can you tell the comb is straight or a rose?

Could it be easter egg? It is really cute!

This is the best leg picture I could get. I hope it helps identify what she (not truly sure what gender) is.

I've read that EE's have green tinted legs. Are the legs picture above the typical color?

Most commonly EEs have green legs, but they can also have yellow and slate legs.
