    She’s an Olive Egger but…

    So I have this pretty baby… I do know she’s an Olive Egger, but what two breeds do you think she is mixed with? She does have feathered legs/feet. Slate colored legs. Dark gray feathers except around neck. And it looks like probably a pea comb. She is about 8-9 weeks old. TIA!
