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.

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

From Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legbar
The Legbar is a rare British autosexing chicken breed. It was created in the early twentieth century by Reginald Crundall Punnett and Michael Pease at the Genetical Institute of Cambridge University.[2] It was created by cross-breeding Barred Plymouth Rock chicken, Leghorns, Cambars, and in the case of Cream Legbars, Araucanas.[3] The Araucana blood in the Cream Legbar is reflected in its crest and blue to blue-green eggs.[4]
 
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
