Hello! This is my 5½ week-old pullet Blondie. She has just developed feathers framing her face - I think it's called a beard?? From similar images, I think she may be an Olive Egger? Any breed guidance is greatly appreciated! 🙂

Where did you get them from?
A friend of a colleague gave him some fertilized eggs, which he gave to me. The eggs were a mix of colors (including two blue ones), but only four hatched and one of the chicks passed away after one week. The four eggs that hatched were all flesh-tone colors.

Sounds like they're just a backyard mix them :) I wouldn't guess olive egger, you'll have to wait and see what egg they lay. The feathered legs makes OE/EE unlikely, maybe one parent but the chance of then laying a green egg can be a toss up!
