I have read many posts and have finally decided it was time to join. I recently got a group of chicks but I have an odd one that I am not sure is any of what I supposedly got. The breeds I got were silver whyandottes, barred rocks and Easter eggers. I am familiar with all three and one that was supposed to be a Easter egger is lacking the puffs so I’m curious if that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s not. Any guesses?

Hi, cute chick! Assuming it is an Easter Egger, not all EE have cheek poofs. This is an EE I had several years ago, note the non-puffy cheeks:

Welcome to BYC. Not all Easter Eggers are bearded. The chick may or may not be an EE. Yellow legs make me suspicious.
