Is this what I think it is?

Backstory.... I bought 2 assorted chicks (along with two assorted Bantam chicks) from TS about 6-7 weeks ago. The next day I got 3 Cream Legbar pullet chicks (along with 3 barred Rock pullets and 3 Dark Brahma pullets)The assorted chicks and the cream Legbar chicks looked alot alike so it was hard to tell them apart. Unfortunately one of them passed away a few days later. Now I've got this one who I believe is a Cream Legbar Roo. Am I Correct? Are Cream Legbar chicks autosexed? Did one of the Cream Legbar pullet chicks pass and my mystery chick is this roo? So many questions lol

Looks like you got one of the TS 'assorted' cockerels.

Yeah it's a cockerel

That's not a cream legbar roo. There's cream legbar in its ancestry, whatever it may be, but it's not a pure CL roo. CL roos are only black and white barred, with a larger head tuft, and their combs only go about 2/3 up from their beaks. This guy has a full single comb, it extends over the top of his head. The red in his feathers indicate he's not a pure CL. Not sure what else he might be - there are other barred breeds or mixes he could be but I'm not familiar with them.

Bielefelder? Or an EE of some sort

Bielefelder mix- Anyone else notice the unusually large pecker (beak) on that cockerel? Awkward teen stage

I haven't heard him try to crow yet. My two Bantam roos (Silver duckwing OEGB and a barred OEGB) have both been trying to crow for about 2 weeks now. I also have another

Sorry my stupid phone cut me off. I also have another mystery roo from TS that I haven't heard or see they to crow yet.

Give him time. We want them to start crowing bc its such a milestone but when they finally do, we want them to shut up.
My roo has developed a liking to crow from 5:30 til about 11 (he’s crowing right now!) without fail—takes a noon break then right back at it. It’s hard to ignore but he’s a good rooster- Bielefelder 14 months old
