5 week old hen with a crest

Cream Legbar although it isn't the best quality (the hackles on your's are more golden than cream).

Looks like a Cream Crested Legbar. Just wondering why are you wearing gloves?

Sorry it took so long to respond I have gloves on because I was just about to start changing out bedding and she happened to walk by so I just quick reached for her

I was wondering about the gloves too.

I was just getting ready to clean their bedding and she happen to walk by so I just reached down for her

This picture doesn't make her look so dark. Looking at meyer's legbars they do seem to breed a little darker. One pic they show still has a cream based hackle but there is some red or chestnut there. Another pic of a younger chick shows no cream in the hackle. Some breeders focus more on getting that true blue egg and sacrifice feather coloring some. Maybe you are going to get a true blue layer!

The breeder I got mine from breeds more for standard and does say the eggs have a green tint to the blue (which hers do). For reference Here is mine at 3 mo. old.View attachment 1261630

She’s very cute! I can see the differences. I can’t wait to see what color her eggs are !

You'll have to update post when she lays! I know I know, long ways away but I didn't you gathered some curiosity whether she's full breed due to coloring! Jealous, I want those blue eggs in my daily egg fetch from my nesting boxes!

Our girls are eye candy for the yard and the nest boxes so the more color the better we say

Meyer also breeds penedesenca. I suspect that crested beauty had some indiscretions. Be sure to share that first egg color with us!
