Hello!

I recently got 2 chicks that are supposed to be female crested cream legbars. They’re now about 6-7 weeks old.

The beige-ish one does have a crest but the colouring of the feathers and legs seem off. Legs are yellowish with a green tinge. I do think this is a hen.

The grey one is barred, might have a start of a crest but it is hard to tell, the comb and wattles are already so big and red. This one has yellow legs. I think this is a cockerel.

What do you think?

The beige ones looks to be a Legbar type Easter egger rather than a purebred Legbar. It's a pullet.

The gray one is a cockerel and could be an Easter egger as well, or else a hatchery quality Legbar.
Thank you all very much for confirming my suspicions!
