Hi! This is Sophia our Olive egger and I’m just curious if she is considered “barred”? We got her from a reputable breeder in our area so I have zero idea what her mix is.

Thanks so much!

Crested cream legbar crossed to something else.

The barring will stay.

Cute chicks! 🥰
One more question! My rainbow layer seems to be “crested” as well. She has a little tuft of hair on her head too! Would she be a mix of crested cream legbar as well?

I think I answered my own questions haha. Given the crest and the little bit of copper in her neck feathers I think she may be a crested legbar and BCM mix! What do you guys think?
 
I think you're right, cream legbar and BCM is a super common mix of breeds to get olive eggers. Barring can sometimes be more prominent on juvenile feathers, but your olive egger has pretty distinct barring that should stay.

My olive Eggers barring is becoming more distinct as she gets older, but it's most noticeable on her neck and a little harder to make out on her body.

She’s gorgeous! How old is she?
