What kind of chicken is this

[Tiffy316]

My cousin found this chick over the weekend, but we have no idea what kind it is, or how old it might be. I mostly just wanna know what kind it is. It doesn't have fluffy checks or leg feathers, and its still young enough to cheep.

Its hard to tell how large she is, but she is fully feathered, so thats a start.

Hmm. Probably a 7-10 week old then. She does look pretty small here. Its just a rough estimate, I can't tell you to the point.

Here's a pic of her sitting on my hand. She's not very big at all.

She’s a young Easter egger. No older than a couple months. Not a bantam. Her small size could be partially due to malnutrition, since it sounds like she hasn’t had the best start in life.

Don't Easter eggers have fluffy cheeks?

Some do, some don’t. If you look up “beardless Easter egger” you’ll see plenty of examples. Your pullet has a very typical EE coloration.

She's awfully small. Shouldn't she be bigger at 3 months?

Yeah I'd say closer to 5-6 weeks. Here's one of my EEs at 5 weeks

She looks like my Nug Nug which is a Sebright/OEGB cross. The cockerels name is Downy.

Here's a close-up of her comb.

is she maybe at least part araucana

IDK. She's a stray. My cousin found her in his yard and took her in. She's in my care now. We don't know anything about her except that she's still young bc she cheeps.

 

[Tiffy316]

cos she dose not seem to have much tail if any and it can happen to have tuftless araucanas every now and then just is luck

Guess we'll have to wait and see. I just picked her up tonight, and my cousin found her on Sunday.
