What is this little gal?

Hi! This baby is almost two weeks old. She arrived in an order that was supposed to be all blue splash ameraucana . She is so adorable but obviously another breed/mix - any ideas? She has feathered legs.

Could be a black Cochin

Interesting! I just looked up a black Cochin chick and there are definitely a lot of similarities.

My black Cochin pair hatched 8 this year so I have a lot of experience with them now

If she is this, is it a breed that you think could do well in very hot climates? I’m in Texas.

Could we get a clear picture of the comb?

Not sure if this helps but about as clear as she will allow
