Short story long, is that I saved this little babe that was glued into it’s shell after our homeschool group hatched out a clutch of chicken eggs. Therefore, it had to come join my flock.

It’s a BYM and my friend was gifted the chickens that laid these and has no idea what breeds she has (no fancy ones that I know of, so no polish). So, I’m thinking that crest is cream legbar.

Now is it a he or a she?

Comb isn’t bright or large. This group is 10 weeks old. Breed guesses are welcome, too! Although I know it’s hard to tell. I think he/she is beautiful and I hope to keep them.

Only curious because I can’t have Roos in city limits so I may need to look into rehoming.

She is a female.
 
She’s a pullet but I think your friend must have some crested breeds. She has more crest than a Legbar and out crosses will usually have smaller crests than their parents
I’m excited to see that others think she’s a pullet as well. Her longer tail feathers had me doubting myself for a sec. I figured there was some sort of crested breed. Or a genetic mutation of some sort from the mixed breeds.
