We have recently bought chicks from a feed store and I can't determine which breed this brown one is!! We think she is a few weeks old.

Not sure if you can see but underneath her developing feathers her down has patterns like a Chipmunk( three dark brown stripes),pinkish legs, a brownish beak and her what-you-could-call-a-tail is black.
Iv been trying to find out what she will look like when she is older for ages!! If you have any idea it would be much appreciated!!

Looks kind of like a brown Egyptian Fayoumis. When I mixed mine with a buff rooster they came out looking a lot like that. Maybe Sicilian Buttercup? Nothing else is ringing a bell.

That color means she's a partridge-ish or wild-type coloring....several breeds come in those colors. We'll have a better idea when she grows her big girl feathers.
 
Those pink legs rule out Gold Laced Wyandotte. What kind of comb does it have? If it is a pea comb it is probably an Easter Egger.

Im pretty sure it's not a pea comb, it's a single comb and spiky, I was secretly hoping it was an EE though because I think the way they look is cute plus their coloured eggs!
 
The color makes it look like an EE pullet... But those are very white legs and it looks like a single comb.
And I agree

Her legs are light pink with a bit of light brown on top to be exact, iv been trying to find out what she is for a week, and I thought she might be a Welsummer or speckled sussex, is there anything that cancels those ideas out?

if she were a SS she'd have more white... But I have seen some welsummer chicks with that pattern in their feathering. So far welsummer is the closest possibility I think, but I'm still not sure
