Not the same but what are they?

It definitely looks like a blue breed, maybe a Blue Splash Maran’s, the clean legged variety. If you get a chance can you post a picture of its eye from the side? Sometimes the Maran’s have a thin white circle around their eyeball when they are tiny chicks.
I thought maybe a splash maran too but i vetoed that because of her legs. I didn't know they had clean legged ones. Hmmm
 
here are some updated photos I took today. Still, no idea what she might be but hopefully someone else might know now that some of her flight feathers are growing in. You can definitely tell them apart now! her feathers look nothing like my lavender Orpingtons now (which are a very solid, matte lavender grey so so pretty)!

Sort of looks a lot like my Easter Egger that is now almost 10 weeks old.
 
but she doesn't have a pea comb and I bought her as one of there "rare breed assorted" so I know its not an easter egger. Though, olive eggers are in their "rare" breeds. She also doesn't have a beard or muffs.
Hmm....I think you said you got her from Meyer Hatcheries. I think if you emailed them and sent some pictures they could tell you what she is.

they said that "they do not track which rare breeds go in as an assorted breed" and that "they are sexed and placed in random boxes before banded and sorted to breeds"but they provided a "helpful guide to assist in finding out what the breed might be":hmm
