Mystery chick with crest- legbar?

[green_thumb]

I had thought this girl was a wellsummer until a couple days ago when she started developing a crest. She is four weeks old today.

She came from Meyer so my options are cream legbar, olive egger, or lakeshore egger I think. Any thoughts? She’s one of my bravest and most personable chicks, I love her!

This is my best photo of her as a young chick.

Bird shown is a pullet. She is either hatchery legbar (colors vary on hq so jot the nice cream pattern some may expect, they can be quite brassy) or their legbar/welsummer olive egger cross....time will tell the difference, I am leaning towards the latter

Looks like a ccl to me. She about the same age as mine. You'll know whether or not she's cream when she lays blue or blue/green eggs.

I have a frost white legbar developing her crest and a Swedish flower as well- no sign of a crest yet but I’m in love with her

Cute little batch!

Not all SFH will get that little crest, only some. It's been a while since I bred and raised them, but they were fun to work with.

What characteristics or lack thereof make you say this? Educate me! They use legbar stock in their olive eggers so she could be that

My CCL is very skittish when I try to pick her up, but will follow me everywhere
When she was that age she was more of a grayish color

with that said it might still be a legbar, just not a cream

she is also not the brightest chicken

Swedish Flower also can develop crest like that...

Agree it looks like an OE.
