Well, it has the typical coloring if it's a Legbar, then it's a pullet. But, where is the crest?

Definitely a legbar girl! I would say she is showing the barest, barest floof of a crest in the first and third pictures. It starts as nothing more than the fluff on their head looking very slightly out of place and gradually becomes more raised as they feather out. Mine are five weeks old now and have their full floofy crests showing but two weeks ago, it was a whole different story!

Thanks everyone! She came from a sort of hobby breeder, so I guess I had my doubts. She doesn't have the distinctive chipmunk stripes down her back, but maybe it's because she doesn't have anymore baby down? I'm new to raising chicks. The other chicks I bought are straight-run, so it's nice to know there is one for sure pullet in the bunch!

I'm so excited for the crest to appear! Such a quirky look.
