This chick hatched from what I thought was a Dark Cornish egg.

Apparently, one of my EE crosses doesn't lay green eggs. I have two EE crosses. One is an Leghorn/EE cross who definitely lays green eggs. The other is her daughter. The rooster that was her father was a Leghorn/Mystery chicken. He looked like a LH but had a couple black spots in its feathers. I think this hatched from one of the daughter's eggs. Those cheeks are undeniable. The father of this chick is either a Buff Orp or a New Hampshire.

Was there a question in there?
Nope, just posting what I think the chick is and document how it grows.

Not a Dark Cornish, that's for certain. Pattern is wrong.
I initially thought it was one of my dark Cornish babies until I saw the cheeks and then the comb. Some of my darks come out completely yellow with no chipmunking.

This is what my dark babies usually look like.

Some of them look like this. You can see two of them barely have any striping at all.
