What type is this 10 week old?

This chick was sold to us as a Splash Marans. However, while it does have the feathered legs of a Marans, it has a pea comb. It came from a local breeder that specializes in Marans, but also has Ameraucanas and Easter Eggers. This chick doesn't appear to have puffy cheeks or beard. The breeder said that the pea comb could just be a rare result of the recessive genes that result in splash varieties. Has anyone had that before or do I have a Marans/Ameraucana or Easter Egger mix? No big deal, I'm just curious.

Probably an ee

Hmmm... no, I don't believe pea combs are recessive in marans. This looks to be an Easter Egger (mix). And appears to be a cockerel if only 10 weeks old.

The legs are yellow and it has a pea comb. It’s not even a first generation mix of Marans. Marans are homogeneous for white skin (meaning all offspring would have white skin). Pea combs are dominant so would never just pop up. He’s a mixed breed

Thank you for the info - I had totally not even put two and two together regarding the leg color! And I didn't know that Marans are homozygous for white skin, very good to know!
