Obviously NOT a cream legbar, but what then?

This is Rosie, age 7/8 weeks. We were told she was a cream legbar but the lack of a crest pretty much puts that idea to rest. Any ideas what breed she is, or possible mixes? She is incredibly calm and sweet tempered, loves to ride around in the open hood of my child’s coat. Good flyer. Smaller than same-aged buff Orpington but about the same size as our same age RIR.

I wonder if she is just a poor quality CCLB lacking a crest. Not sure how they would manage to get rid of the crest though….

Otherwise, likely an Egger of some sort.

i dont know but i would say adorable

Wow. her coloring sure looks like CCLB, but there is no hat. Maybe just a Legbar (Brown Leghorn, Barred Rock cross) without the other two breeds who I forget at the moment? That Chilean bird… is Araucana Chilean? And something else? She looks “thicker” than my CCLB, who is hatchery stock, but still very Leghorn-like.

She looks a bit like my Crele Penedesenca did at that age... What’s the leg color?

Sorry this picture is awful but it’s late at night and I can get more tomorrow. You can see her legs, which are yellow and without feathers.

I’ll have to go with Cherry on this one, looks like an Egger something.

She is absolutely beautiful and looks so sweet and adorable! I wish you knew the cross because I want one!

She may very well be a non standard Legbar. Where did you get her?
