Unidentified hatchery chick - Please help!

[FarmerBritt]

Hi there,
I have searched the internet and poultry books many hours over the past 3 months trying to identify the breed of this chicken. We received him/her from McMurray Hatchery as our bonus"Rare and Exotic" chick. He is definitely an oddball - green/willow legs, slow to feather, almost "rumpless" with tiny tail feathers... I have no idea and feel like I'm going crazy! I can't imagine he's a mix since he came directly from such a large hatchery, but I've not seen any bird with his coloring before. Maybe I'm just missing something, but any ideas would help. Thanks!

Brittany

Hello and Welcome To BYC! Looks like you have an Easter Egger, (McMurray sells them as Ameraucanas).

Your unknown chick is an Easter Egger cockerel, usually sold (incorrectly) by McMurray as an Ameraucana/Araucana.

It is an Easter egger
You probably couldn't identify it because ees come in many different colors

Thanks for the help. So I guess Easter Eggers don't have set feather patterns like other breeds (ie. Wyandottes) do? That's what threw me off when I've looked up pictures of EEs before...
