What Gender and Breed is this chicken?

[kaitlyn_2001]

I'm looking into adopting this chicken. The seller is not familiar with chickens and can't give me any information on the gender or breed - but did tell me it was 1.5 months old, hopefully it's not to young to be gendered. Looking for help:

She’s a pullet. As far as breed, I’m not sure. Where did the seller get her? My best guess would be that she is a mix because of the small crest and what I think is a beard.

What do you reckon she's a mix of?

I'd guess pullet as well. I'd say some sort of cross with a Cream Legbar &/or Splash (I've got several CL with the crest feathering like in your picture). Nice looking bird though, imo.
Oh.... btw. Hi & welcome to BYC!

Cream Legbar for one parent. Maybe a Leghorn or even Sussex for the other, I’m not sure sorry.

Welcome to our flock!!!!!

She looks like a splash cross. By chance, are you somewhere in the UK? I wonder if that's a UK Standard Araucana or Ameraucana.

It could be an Araucana, especially with the beard, but splash isn’t standardised and it seems a bit strange that a seller who doesn’t know anything about the chick’s breed or sex would have a pure Araucana. They’re not the easiest to come by and can sell for £20-£30 per pullet. I’ve never heard of Ameraucana’s here. I think it’d help to know where the seller got the pullet.
