Is this a Cream Legbar?

[Triki_978]

Hello. This is one of my lovely chickens and she is now the only one who I don’t the breed of! I wonder if she is a Cream Legbar but the thing is, she doesn’t have any feathers where their crest should be. I’m in the UK if that helps as I know they have different cross breeds. Thanks in advance.

She is an interesting one isn’t she? I’ve done research to no avail.

She is definitely a cream leg.

Thanks, so just one without the crest feathers?

I don't know anything about breeding and genetics but...
Unless you NEED a crest, then she can be your special girl!

I don’t breed, don’t even have a cockerel at that, so it’s perfectly fine! Thanks so much for your help.

She's not a Cream Legbar. Maybe a Legbar mix... I went through a couple books I have that were published in the UK to see if there are any breeds I'm less familiar with that she could be and I'm finding nothing :/

That’s interesting. Thanks for checking your books. I have no clue because she looks just like a Cream Legbar...but without the crest feathers. I’ve found this ‘The Cream Legbar is a popular English breed created by crossing Barred Plymouth Rocks and Brown Leghorns with Araucanas’. Do you think my chicken might have had the Araucana left out of her genetics? I have no clue though because I don’t have any knowledge of genetics.

I've read that sometimes cream legs can be bred in a certain way that there isn't a crest. I don't own Cream Legs so idk
