Hi, welcome to BYC and all things Cream Legbar =) It looks like a few days since you posted, unless I missed something, I'll just pop in with some comments.New here...new to CCLs also. Didn't really plan on them, but came into a small group of hens and a roo. I would like to have your opinions on these animals. Did I do okay? Sorry, they are a little dusty from pest treatment just before pickup, and riding in the truck for a few hours. They still laid an egg when we got home! Thanks in advance for any comments and suggestions.

That's a good sign that they are laying, and a pretty blue egg is very important.
Your new flock looks like it has some other key factors such as nice body size and white earlobes.
The hens and rooster also have reasonable combs; flocks are often plagued by very floppy, folded combs.
Your girls seem to have distinct crests which is a good thing, although one may be a bit small, the others are fairly medium in size.
The rooster has a small crest (which is better than no crest), so the offspring should show crests in all cases.
Two general items to note:
the legs should be yellow and they look a little washed out?
the flock exhibits some of the common feather color/pattern variations which are not quite in keeping with the proposed SOP; that's a whole other discussion. The simple comment is, the rooster and a couple of hens may be heterozygous for cream, so you may see some offspring that are correct for cream.
Thanks for sharing your pictures!
