does anyone know what breed of chicken I have?

[mrsmoraine]

So I went to a local place that sells chicken coops and chickens with all intentions of buying nothing but wyandottes but then I saw ac and dc and couldn't resists they remind me of my son and nephew with there little Mohawks so I had to get them the breeder wasn't quite sure what they were due to him ordering those particular ones from a hatchery. So I researched and researched but can't really find to much. Any and all help identifying them would be greatly appreciated.

incorrect, cream leg bars don't always have white earlobes, search on Google images as many don't as them that do.


Here's one clear example,

this is a crested cream legbar.

Sorry to the OP for straying a little off topic.

Understood that alot of CL do not have fully white earlobes but I am correct. Cream Legbars are supposed to have white earlobes if you read the draft of the SOP on the Cream Legbar Club website it says Ear-lobes: Enamal white . Sometimes the earlobe will have red leakage and that is not desirable. But they are not to have fully red lobes.

This is my Cream Legbar cockerel with fully white earlobes as per the SOP


And one of my hens

Welcome to BYC - the photo posted seems to be taken in an area lit with a red heat light - do you have a photo with natural lighting?

What color are the legs. The first thing that comes to mind is crested cream legbar, but that's just at first glance - would love to see more pictures.

Since you mentioned they came from a hatchery, my guess is Olive Eggers. Probably a Crested Cream Legbar mixed with a Marans.

Thank yall for the responses and there legs are like a golden yellow they are funny little hens and I will definitely look up the breeds and take more pictures of them and post them here. They are free range bright and early in the morning until they decide to come back in and as soon as I open the door they are off so I'll have to get pictures on a good day they are pretty standoffish compared to my wyandottes
