Hello, this is my first set of chickens that I have raised solo. I reserved 1 Silver Lace Cochin, 1 Gold Lace Cochin, 2 Golden Comets, and 2 Easter Eggers. When I picked up my babies, there was a bonus chick inside the box. Not saying that I dont love him/her, but I would like to know more about it. Some chickens require different care, and I want to be a good mama. Any help identifying the breed and or sex would be great. The chick is a little over 1 week old, should I wait longer to try to identify it?

Its the Yellow chick with the dark spot on its head :)
 
Looks like an EE to me...I think I see some puffy cheeks and green legs, and I know that the feed store I used to work at (which got a few hundred chicks every week) had some EE shipments that looked quite like that one.
 
That makes me soo happy lol!!! Thank you very much! I will put some more updated pics later as he/she gets older so we can see about sexing Peck!
 
Here is an updated picture of the chick, just checking to see if the Easter Egger is still the best guess :)
