Cream legbar or Olive Egger

[chickenfarmergal]

Well I thought I had everything perfect so no mixing and somehow during hatching some of my chicks got mixed in with each other. Now I'm stuck as I don't know which is Legbar and which isn't. HELP My gut says yellow dot is Olive Eggers but 2nd guessing myself

I did 3 chicks pictured at different angle Image 1&2 same chick
3,4,5 same chick
6&7 same chick

I would agree with you but that’s just a guess. I guess they’ll either look like each other for 8 weeks or so or you’ll tell when they lay an egg

Hope you figure it out

I thought, Cream Legbars have a top-Knot. And yellow legs.

Yes, they have yellow legs. The crest does not really start to show up until about 2-3 weeks of age. If the OPs olive eggers are welsummer and legbar based, will be really hard to tell the difference between the chicks as the olive eggers will also have a little crest.

And they all have yellow legs. And yes, Legbar Roo over Welsummer hen. Sigh I've looked and looked and even reached out to the breeder where I got the Legbar eggs from and she wasn't able to help. I really don't want to grow all these chicks out I really really don't. But I just bought 2 incubators so this will never ever happen again. And I will always gather the Legbars and bring them in/mark them and then store before gathering the others.
