Supposed to be a Black Star pullet

[GirlsHuntToo]

Thank you! I looked at Hoover’s after it does look like one of those two.

I am leaning toward Prairie Bluebell Egger because she doesn't have any muffs or hair on the top of her head.

I agree. The chicks in Hoovers picture are definitely what I received. I can’t thank you enough for solving my BS real breed

Your very welcome! I find that I am pretty accurate on what breed/mix of breeds or telling if it is a rooster or a hen!

If only I could tell what month it is half as good as you can see the sex, breed!

Hoover's description says Prairie Bluebell Eggers have pea combs. The photos on Hoover's page also show chickens with pea combs.

But I am pretty sure I see a single comb on OP's chicken in the first post. (A frontal view of the head would make it easier to tell for sure.)

If it does have a single comb, I think it is probably not a Prairie Bluebell Egger.

Poking through the Hoovers website, I found several other kinds that I think are more likely:

https://www.hoovershatchery.com/easteregger.html
(Easter Egger, can have a single or a pea comb, many different feather colors possible. The one in the example photo does not have a crest of feathers on the head or muff/beard on the face, just like OP's chicken does not have a crest or muff/beard.)

https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/calico-princess-pullets.1258783/
(Calico Princess, single comb, can come in several slightly different feather colors-- I found a thread that shows one quite similar to OP's bird, more similar than the Hoovers stock photo.)

https://www.hoovershatchery.com/rainbow.html
(Rainbow has a single comb and comes in a variety of colors. Based on the ones in the Hoovers photo, I think OP's chicken is one color/pattern that could exist in Rainbows.)

Oh boy, thank you @NatJ I must admit that I’m more confused about breed than ever I am positive that it is not a BS.
I’m glad he’s a she and she should lay eggs. I wanted BS for their wonderful temperament and brown eggs. If the eggs aren’t brown, I bet I won’t be able to tell the difference when I eat them.
So far these are friendly and when I’ve had to handle them, been very nice and gentle.
Sounds like a win. I looked at your links and I appreciate you taking the time to share them with me.
Thank you again for all your help!

Yes I have gotten birds from Hoover's Hatchery and it says they are '' pea combed " and I have gotten single comb birds. Since they are a hybrid breed - mixed with two birds - maybe it is possible that the single comb gene might have carried over to this bird.
Over all this is a really tricky bird to figure out - I am saying that you could possibly be correct that it might be a rainbow.

Good point about birds sometimes having a comb type that does not match the description.

Yes, I agree that this bird is definitely tricky to figure out.

If it does turn out to be female, we may get a clue from what color eggs it lays at maturity. (At 3 months, a female *might* have that much comb. At 2 months, I'm pretty sure a female would not.)
