I bought three female legbar chicks from a local breeder
THey are 8 wks old
They look like hens but one of them has a bustle( think victorian women)
Its just feathers she doesn't have a fleshy hump
Her head coloring is slightly different to

Just wanted confirmation she's not a he!

It looks like a girl . it could be a genetic issue or the chick could have been badly feather plucked and canabilised and lost its parsons nose which is what makes the feathers stick up. She will be more likely to have poppy butt problems so you may find that trimming the hanging feathers around the vent to be helpful in that regard

Until about four weeks she looked exactly like the others, I got her at two days old and she was fine no butt problems , not sure what poppy butt is!? I'll look it up
