Welsummer chick?

I emailed the hatchery with pictures and a probable hatch date. They said she's probably one of their olive eggers which would be a cream legbar x welsummer. They were not even hatching Welsummers at the time. Here's a picture of what she should look like!

Nice! She's going to be a pretty girl!
 
I went to a feed store one time, and they had chicks from Meyers. The bin I looked in was rooster chicks for 1.00 each, I saw a welsummer chick in there that was a female. I didn't tell the feed store what they had and bought that chick, it laid the most wonderful deep brown eggs.

Beautiful eggs!
 
This girl was in a bin labeled Buff Brahma! After googling a lot, I think she is a Welsummer. I've never seen a Welsummer in person before so I thought I'd see what you all think. She's almost 2 weeks old I believe.
For those experienced with them, are they friendly?
Thanks!
Update: Just for anyone who is interested, she was an olive egger from Hoover's Hatchery, and she laid her first egg yesterday at about 21 1/2 weeks old. Our first green egger!:) It looks kind of gray in the picture. It's outside, overcast, and about 30 min. before the sun went down. So I'm sure it looks way different in different lights, but if you wipe water on those speckles, they turn very dark brown. I placed it next to a bluer EE egg for reference.

Update: Well here's what she actually looks like, and she laid her first egg yesterday for anybody who is interested in the egg color and what it came from. She looks almost identical to a Welsummer, but she developed white ear lobes, so I knew she wasn't that at least. The other egg in the picture is from one of our EEs for comparison.
