6 week old EE — hen or roo?

[labelo]

I'm thinking she's an easter egger but a legbar based one. I got 2 last year that could pass as red sex-links but both laid green eggs. Mine were from tractor supply which uses hoover. I suspect that they did some kind of cream legbar rhode island red mix

I'd expect a legbar cross to have a crest (but then again, you'd expect an Ameraucana cross to have muffs!). Either way, all this is making me think that if she is a EE she has to be a multigenerational cross since she doesn't appear to have either muffs or a crest.
Be sure to update us when she lays! A green/blue egg would obviously mean EE, though a brown would be inconclusive.

Only one of the 2 I had had a crest so they don't necessarily have to have a crest. It would also depend on what else is in their mix if anything else is in there

Good news is if she is indeed a she (I am stumped on the gender here as well) she should be a fabulous layer of likely green eggs. Both of mine were amazing layers. I don't think she has any ameraucana in her though

I see no signs of Ameraucana at all it’s truly bizarre. I have two EE hens, one has the traditional muffs and beard, the other has none, but has that EE “look” in the face with kind of Welsummer feathering. they’re both from Ideal. this will be sooo interesting to see develop! thanks for your thoughts!

will do! I’ll keep posting update pics since this seems to be such an interesting case!

Honestly, all the photos look identical to my Golden Comet girls. Starlight green eggers also look identical to the Golden Comets, just lay green eggs instead of brown.
