Extra feathers on hen’s head

[arizonachickie]

Hello!
This chicken was sold to us as an “Olive-Egger” We have two Olive Egger hens, but this one has a bit of a Mohawk. Does anyone else have a similar chicken with these extra special feathers?

thanks,
Michelle

There’s a good chance I’m wrong because I’m still new to chickens and learning, but she looks a lot like my cream legbars. They have crests and lay blue eggs. If crossed with a dark layer I would think the chicks would be olive eggers.

Part Legbar, that's Deffidently a OE. Those feathers are a crest.

That’s a olive egger. They can be ameraucana mixes or legbar mixes. Here’s mine when she was younger.

Thank you! Such a fast response and I appreciate. You sound correct as I had another response after you saying same thing. Thank you for helping! Very cool!

I also have an Olive Egger that's part legbar so she has a "tufty."
