2 Weeks ago, I got my shipment from MPC. My order consisted of:
1Appellenzer Spitzhauben
1Siliver Lakenvelder
1GLW
1SLW
1Cukoo Maran
1Light Brahma
1 Silver Seabright

The Silver Seabright died intransit and everyone else was IDed. So I thought. I noticed on the second day something was off. My Light Brahma wasn't a light Brahma. I looked at my order and I did say that I would allow substitutions for a non black silkie, or a blue cochin. So... instead of my light brahma I thought I got a partridge cochin or a buff brahma. Well... today I am looking at the feet of the chick, it has no real feet feathers!

So what breed is this? I know she is a pullet for sure.

.... she looks like a buff brahma.

Hatchery stock brahmas don't have heavy foot feathering - the breed itself doesn't have heavy feathering like cochins. In fact, the chick looks a lot like my girl from Ideal (granted, mine has more feathers)

Thanks! The reason I was confused is a did manage to pick up a couple light brahmas today from Privett Hatchery. Yeah, their feet look like silkies. Lots of feathers. I'll take a picture and post it. So will my little girl not have feathered feet?

Is it just me or does it look bearded to anyone else? May just be the angle/light but it looks lightly bearded to me.

As for breed it does not look like a brahma, but I cannot put my finger on what it could be......... sorry
 
I can't see how you'd think that, they're the same color.

She'll have shank feathering, yes - there just won't be very much.

Do you have a better picture of her face?
