Cream legbar pullet?

That's a cockerel and not a Cream Legbar, sorry.
Yep...Not a legbar. It is a legbar cross at best but it doesn't even look like that to me. And yes, it is a cockerel.

Here are day-old Legbars. The one on the left is the pullet and is darker than the cockerel on the right. The pullets will have the dark brown stripe down the center of the head, neck, and back with the lighter tan chipmonk stripes near the outside. They might have a faint white or yellow spot on their head but most don't show a head spot. The cockerels can vary in color from a fairly dark grey to a very light tan but their body color will be lighter than pullets of the same breeding line. The example below is an exaggerated contract because I took a cockerel from a Very light downed breeding line and put him next to a pullet from a very dark downed breeding line. I dark downed cockerel next to a light downed pullet could possibly have a darker cockerel than pullet, but that is an outlier and not the standard. At any rate, the cockerels with not have the clear chipmonk stripes like the pullets do and the cockerels will have larger head spots that are always going to be visible.

Here is a 2-month old legbar pullet. They have the salmon-colored breast, light hackle, and brown or grey body colors. Their barring is going to be very faint.

Finally, here is one to show the range of down colors of the cockerels and pullets. Light pullet on the left, dark cockerel second to left. Dark pullet 3rd from left and light cockerel on the right
