Speckled Sussex---NOT

[suzrwin]

New chicken mama here. We have 10 chicks from our local mom and pop feed store, all sexed as pullets (we'll see). They are about 5.5 -6 weeks old. All appear as the named breed (blue laced red wyandotte, welsummer, lavender orpington, easter eggers.) But I have one gal that was supposed to be a speckled sussex, but nope. I don't think she looks like one at all. Coloring is not right, and she has a crest! Adorable! My oldest grandson named her Rockstar. Any guesses as to what she REALLY is? If you need more pics let me know. Personality is super mellow and sweet, and she's a big girl. Right on par with my Orpingtons.

That's a cream legbar. They are sweet and lay blue eggs!

Cream Legbar. You have blue eggs in your future.

You are correct, it is a Cream Legbar.
Also welcome to BYC!

I think you have a Cream Legbar/derived Easter or Olive Egger. I would expect a pure Cream Legbar to have more grey tones and less brown. I have three production-line pullets right now (which tend to have more brown tones compared to show-lines) and yours is still significantly different in color. Here's one of my Legbars for comparison!

Oh, thank you guys so much! Mystery solved. We all love Rockstar, and I'm super happy to have her in my flock.
