I posted a pic of this chick a few weeks ago and the general consensus was that she is an EE. Just wondered if there might be any other guesses now that she has more feathers in. She also has two funny feathers sticking out of her tail (one feather on each side). They look kind of like the feathers that peacocks have on their heads, just a shaft with a little feathering on the end. I tried to get a pic of those, but it was really hard to get my camera to focus on them enough to get a good pic. Anyway here she is:

Thanks for looking!
 
It looks like an EE type to me. My EE(Ameraucana X RIR(or) Brown Leghorn) look very very similar to that.

yup, definitely looks like an americauna/aracauna/EE ( the feed stores do not really differentiate on these names, although you will rarely ever get a true purebred Americauna, mostly what they sell are "skunky mutts", but they are a beautiful, sweet-natured bird regardless!:-D), also, those little fluffs you see are just that, they are the baby down stuck to the end of a full feather shaft ~ just give a little (teeennnssy) tug, and it will separate off, and in a day or two, the feathers they came off of will have filled out. {:>)=

I thought EE always has greenish legs.

That chick looks like a RIR.

Well, I guess I will stick with calling her an EE! I don't think she could be a Welsummer because she doesn't look like she has a single comb. Here's hoping for green eggs!
 
She looks like an EE to me too.

EEs do not always have green legs. They are a cross breed and depending on the genetics provided by the parent stock, their leg color could be anything.
