Edit: added a second picture to see her neck feather pattern better.

She's approximately 11 weeks old. I bought her from my local family farm store with the others.
The breeds I bought from them were: Easter Eggers (x2), Olive Eggers (x4), Rhode Island Reds (x4), Lavender Orpingtons (x3), and Barred Rock (x1). Clearly she's not a LO or BR.

My two olive eggers are two sets of colors. Two look medium brown with black lacing/spots, and the other two are light brown with white (someone suggested they looked like golden comets).


Honestly, I've no idea. I'm leaning towards Easter Egger but the other Easter Egger I got actually looks like the Golden Comet esq olive eggers. So frankly, I have no idea.
 
I wonder if she got mixed into the Easter Egger clutch at the hatchery, because she's definitely one of the three I bought a week after my olive eggers/RIR/LO.

She's a great pullet regardless, so it's not like I'm upset or anything 😂 she's just making me scratch my head and go, "huh."
 
For reference the left and middle one are two of the chicks that were labeled Olive Eggers at the store. (One on the right is my BR)

And these are the other two that were picked from the Olive Egger brooding tub.

I'm guessing there was just some egg mix up. Since I'm cool with whatever (within reason) I'm not bothered. I'd feel bad for anyone trying to get specific breeds and only those specific breeds and ending up with a different one.
