Need help identifying my chicken

[Nikaroo]

Thanks for all the responses. It kinda looked like the chicks in the picture posted up a few when it was a baby, except it's legs have always been a very deep willow. I call it a road runner now, lol. That's kind of what it looks like body wise. It is way to skittish (and free roaming) for me to really catch it unless it's in the coop at night for me to check it's comb. I'm sorry if I don't know all the lingo yet - these are my first chickens ever, and they are only a couple months old. I got them from MM and have a couple of a few different breeds - except for my mystery bird, which was the free rare one w/purchase. I will actually have a camera tomorrow and will take a pic to post. So far, nothing really looks quite like her (or him)... but again, I'm a total noob...

"road-runner" body type is probably a roo. All of the "rare" breed extras I've ever received were roos. Last time, it was a white EE roo. Muffed/bearded with a very small comb and willow legs.

WILLOW/GREEN LEGS DOES NOT MEAN EE!!! There are many breeds where the standard calls for willow legs. Araucana is one of those breeds. Ameraucana is not.

Just because someone's EE has plumage of a certain appearance does not mean that a different breed cannot have a similar appearance. Most varieties are common to many breeds, and most breeds come in a number of standardized varieties.

Just as mille fleur is not synonymous with d'uccle, willow legs are not synonymous with EE.

Totally agree, I had a friend who thought her buttercup was an EE, cause it had green legs
