This is my little girl Piper. She is an only chicken due to being born disabled. We have done lots of physical therapy and her previous orthopedic problems have 'straitened' out!
She was born in late May. Due to her very puffy cheeks I am starting to question what kind she is...any thoughts?
 
Muffs like that are found on pure Araucanas and Ameraucanas. What does her tail look like?

Not trying to be nit-picky but Araucanas do not have muffs, they have an unusual feature called ear tufts, which no other recognized breeds have. They aren't fuzzy like muffs or beards, but they are regular feathers that stick straight out and are only located by their ears :)

Don't worry. I always get the name mixed up.
