What the heck is Pumpkin?

[Westmarch]

Pumpkin came out of a mixed feed store bin (along with an Easter Egger who I'm 97% certain is a cockerel). I don't think she herself is an Easter Egger as she has carrot-orange feet, but I can't place her. She had reddish chipmunk down as a baby and now that she's getting a few more feathers I thought maybe someone could identify her!

She is approximately 3.5 weeks old.

(P.S.: Asking the feed store employees was useless; it was the kind of store that has an "Araucana" sign on the EE bin.)

Welsummer perhaps? I'm entirely unsure on that though.

 

[Westmarch]

Hmmm! She does look a bit like a Welsummer. I'm wondering if she might be some kind of red sex link perhaps - I know so many kinds have the chipmunk down that she could grow into anything.

It appears to be either a Welsummer or Brown Leghorn chick. With respect, It's not a Red Sex Link chick.

 

[Westmarch]

Oh, no need for respect - I'm sure I'm wrong, it was just a random guess based on the fact that there was also a big mixed bin labeled "Golden Comets" at the feed store and filled with all kinds of girls. I know different sexlinks can often look different based on their parents, so I just wondered if she found her way out of that box and was a type I had never seen before.

So Leghorn or Welsummer! I have never had either of those breeds and will have to read about them. I'll post another picture of Pumpkin in a month or so and maybe we can identify her for certain!

Looks like either a Welsummer or a Brown Leghorn pullet to me.

Looks like either a Welsummer or a Brown Leghorn pullet to me.

Agreed.

THE PLOT THICKENS. I''m actually thinking, based on the varieties the feed store claims they had, that Pumpkin might be a Speckled Sussex.

She's not a BO, a Comet, a RIR or a Barred Rock, and I don't think she is an Easter Egger, so by process of elimination (and the natural down pattern) I suspect she might be a Sussex. Hopefully things will become clearer in the coming weeks...

Could be SS - question, in the OP you state that she has "carrot orange" feet, are the photos really washed out or are her feet/legs more of a whitish shading?

ETA - do you have any photos of her as a downy baby? Sometimes it helps to see what version of chipmunk they were before they started to feather out.
