I got this little chicken back in december from a local store (i believe they buy from hoovers hatchery). Cannot figure out what the breed is! Also getting mixed on the gender. It was mixed in with a group of calico princess chicks and the lady said she had no idea what it was.

That's a pullet! I also think she is a Prairie Bluebell Egger because after doing some research Hoover's Hatchery's Easter Egger blood lines, all EE's have crests or hair on top of their head, no beards or muffs - with Prairie Bluebell Egger's they have beards and muffs but no crests.
Although some hatcheries Easter Egger's have muffs and beards. Depends on the hatchery and the genes running though their flock(s).
