Do we have a legbar? Bonus EE question :)

[MochaChickMama]

Just when I thought I’d figured her out, this little lady sprouted a crest in the last couple of days. About 5 weeks old today, is she a cream legbar? She’s from Meyer, but wasn’t banded.

A few photos of her growth for good measure.

Few days old

3 weeks

Also, we have this EE who should be a pullet yet she has always been *so* much bigger than everyone else (same age/order) and her legs/feet are really big. Should I be keeping an eye on the comb just in case?

She is probably one of those new crested EEs. The other EE I think pullet

Agreed. Doesn't look quite like a Legbar to me. Both look to be pullets!

Thank you both! I had no idea there were EE without beards, and with crests. How fun! Excited we have all pullets too, going to be quite a colorful egg basket.

Maybe your chick was switched with mine! I got a banded cream legbar with no crest and the wrong color feathers lol

I also see an EE for the first one, but the second EE is a cockerel in my opinion. Especially since he is 5 weeks old.

Oh goodness! Did you figure out what it is?

Oh the plot thickens! My last ee cockerel’s comb turned quite red about 6 weeks so I’ll be on the lookout

I posted a thread and the speculation was Bielefelder but who knows. She is beautiful and friendly so I'm happy either way!

I don't know about the legbar but I have a EE pullet who is much bigger then her sister. She has always been bigger, big legs, big body, and big personality.
