I thought this chick was a Whiting true blue, but turns out it's a frizzle chick. It is one of those free chicks you can get when you order from Mcmurray hatchery.
I looked at there website and only found that they sell bantam frizzle in different colors, but this chick doesn't have feathers on her legs.
I hope you guys could help me figure it out?

Hmm, that is definitely a puzzle.

Like you, I cannot find any frizzles on their website except the frizzled Bantam Cochins, which would have feathered legs and single combs. Your chick has clean legs and I don't think it has a single comb either (not sure what it is, maybe a pea comb, but it does not look single to me right now.) So I agree with you that the chick is not a Frizzled Cochin Bantam (not Cochin, probably not bantam, but yes frizzled.)

Maybe McMurray is working on a new breed or variety of chickens, and sending some out as free chicks while they build themselves a breeding flock. If that is the case, they may appear on the website next year or the year after. Maybe a frizzled Easter Egger?

I seriously appreciate your feedback. Thank you for seeing that and I was thinking the same thing in regards to the frizzle Easter Egger. I'll make sure to lost what she looks like as she feathers out!
