Anyone else have a white Cream Legbar?

Hey guys! About a year ago I ordered a bunch of purebred hatching eggs. About a dozen of them were cream legbars. I had a pretty bad hatch and only ended up with 3 chicks. One of them looked exactly like you would expect for a female CL, but the other two were black and white. I looked online but couldn't find any CL chicks that looked similar so I thought they may have been mislabeled. Later on when they feathered out, the two black chicks started to look more and more like CL roosters. Meanwhile my typical cream legbar female looked more and more white. She has a lot of other typical CL characteristics (comb, crest, pattern), but I've never seen a CL with her coloring. Anyone else seen white cream legbars or black CL chicks? I wanted to eventually start hatching out some cream legbars myself, but since none of these guys match the "standard" for the breed, I'm not sure if I can use any of them. Thoughts?

I haven't seen any legbars for sale locally( tractor supply) in over 2 years .They're a very popular and sell out fast. Sorry they aren't purebred but you got 2 good layers out of 3
The annoying thing is that I didn't even buy them locally. I bought the eggs from out of state and had them shipped. I got several other breeds from the same seller too and they all looked like the breed. I guess it is what it is 😅 I'll keep them regardless because they're sweet chickens

I also just hatched out these guys (from a different seller even further away), so I guess now I'll try for round 2!
