Legbar questions

[Pekin747]

So I just got my four legbar pol pullets
I have kept silver legbars in the past but decided to try cream legbars
Can legbars have no Crest as one of mine doesn't the breeder I fot them of gave it to me for a bit less after a bit of arguing but now I'm wondering if theres a crested and non crested type?

They should be crested and as this is standard, a non crested bird shouldn’t be bred from. Are they/you sure she’s a Legbar?

I have hatched a few without crests. You have to select well when breeding. Some just pump out eggs and chicks with no thought of the breed standard. I am several generations deep in my legbars and still get a non crested chick come up from time to time. Last year’s cockerel I selected threw several pullets with poor crests. You should still get your pretty blue eggs and i am guessing since you bought pullets at POL then you are not interested in breeding, all is well.

I bred them for 5 years and never had a none crested one. Its not impossible though I'd say. I had of this years 4 Spangled Russian Orloffs not grow beards and that's never happened to me before.
