What breed is this. Don't care about gender

This little 3-4 week old was picked out of a bin with hoover hatchery colored layer mix. I have no idea what Whoodie is. No distinctive fuzzy cheeks like the blue bell egger. Hoover hatcheries list "You may receive any of the following breeds in this assortment: Americana, Olive Egger, Prairie Bluebell Egger™, Sapphire Olive Egger™, Starlight Green Egger™, Midnight Majesty Marans™, French Black Copper Marans, or Cuckoo Marans."

Could it be a legbar? They have single combs I believe, they also get partial crests tho

I think olive eggers can get interesting patterns I may be wrong on this but I don't think they have beards either. Also not sure but I think this is what a more wild type chicken looks like before they molt if that helps

I'll just find out when I do I guess. Yeah Olive Eggers don't have da fuzz. But there chicks don't look like what Whoodie looked like so I'm not sure

Yeah I suppose so but someone else might know. I do have to say that in the third picture, her head look suspiciously crested even though it shouldn't be

She might be a roo. But I'm waiting on it. Not as red as it should be. But earlier I had a rir roo from the same store same hatchery. I wonder if they have a new
Vent sexer that sucks at there job. Whoodie has similar, needy and loud behaviors like the Rir. I hate going through the sadness of rehoming a roo I love and am attached to. My city will never change its rooster ordinance. But I see square hackle feathers instead of pointed and no saddle or rooster tail feathers.

Olive Eggers may have crests if they're a legbar cross.

The various designer "egger" chickens aren't really standardized into named colors and breed standards. Their defining feature is their colored eggs.

She's not a Marans because she doesn't match the color pattern for any Marans variety.

She's not a Sapphire because she's not blue.

You'll have the best chance of figuring out what sort of egger she is when you see what color she lays.

I have a chick about 8 weeks old who has almost the same pattern as shown in the pics.
I was told it is easter egg.
