What breed could this be?

[barefootdrifter]

I ordered a number of hens from a hatchery and sometimes they throw in a random extra bird. I can't figure out what breed this one might be. It has barred or cuckoo type feathers, single comb, white featherless legs, but it has some longer feathers on its head like its crested. I'm stumped.

It looks like a cream legbar cockerel to me!

Whatever it is it's a roo.

Maybe, but according to the hatchery website they don't breed cream legbars.

Hmm.....if that's the case then I'm stumped

For reference, here's my 3 1/2 month cream legbar cockerel. They look very similar!

Looks like a cream legbar rooster,
I can't see clearly from the photo but,
Are his legs yellow?

They're more white I think, it's hard to say because the chicks are all so skittish they run around and hide when I go outside to check on them. I only noticed that it was different from all the rest a couple of days ago, and they're 6 weeks old

I thought cream legbar cockerel also but, his legs are white. Do they change color as the bird matures? He's a cutie.
