4 week old Cream Legbar and/or Welbar Chicks side-by-side

[SLOChick]

I have 3 Cream Legbars and 2 Welbars (I think?) I thought I would post them side-by-side if anyone has thoughts. One is more brownish/rust and the other leans toward more greyish hues.

i would wait a little longer, it generally takes 8 weeks to tell but my best guess is pullet

They're all pullets- I was wondering about breed. Welbar or cream legbar

Oh im sorry! unfortunately im not sure about that! @MysteryChicken can you help?

I have both. Mine are 18 days old and the Legbars are just beginning to show tiny crests - no more than a little tuft of downy feathers on their heads.
Here are my two Legbars one is Opal colored so easy to tell apart.

Legbars would have a small crest, while Welbars won't.

Thank you . None of them seem to have a crest yet, and they are at about 6 weeks. Would I be seeing a crest by now? The color of the mantle is so different on them.

I'm also seeing a more greyish body on the ones with the pale grey mantle and a more brown/orange body on the ones with the gold mantle.

Crest should've started showing around 4½ weeks, if not a tad bit earlier.

That seems to be the only thing missing. The color seems right. Feed-store chicks, what're you gonna do
