I ordered eggs off ebay and 3 hatched, but i dont think they are pure unless these are common faults with the breed.
When they hatched i could easily sex them like legbars, 1 girl, 2 boys. The girl doesnt seem to have a crest and has a beard and ear muffs instead and one of the boys has a different comb, not single but just a flat bit where the comb should be- not sure what type that is! The second boy seems fine, has the right comb and a crest with no beard or muffs.
 
You may want to post photos over on the Cream Legbar thread in the Breeds, Genetics and Showing board.

Some of the Cream Legbars lack a crest, so that is not a big deal in my mind. However, they should not have a beard or muffs. They should also have a straight comb. A flat bit where the comb may be a pea or rose comb. Do you know if the breeder also has Araucanas? A mix-up in the pens might explain the mixed up chicks. I can't remember the breed standard for Araucanas (English)--I think they have crests, beards and muffs plus blue eggs and a pea comb.

Photos are definitely in order!

I'll post it over on the thread you suggested and add photos on this thread as well! The seller had a lot of different breeds- araucana included!
