Unknown White Chick

Hatcheries often send an extra chick with orders, and sometimes they substitute one breed for another.

It may just be the photo, but the feathers appear to have a bluish cast to them, and I wonder if it is splash instead of white.

Not sure on breed. It has yellow legs, so I think we can rule out Orpingtons and Marans. It could be some hatchery hybrid or perhaps a white rock. But I've never seen rocks with that bluish down before. When it is older and all feathered out, it may be easier to tell what it is.

Here she is now at 8 weeks. Her head is maybe a hue grayer than her white body. Not seeing splash markings but her tail has a few dark feathers.
