Olive egger or Cream Legbar!

[ChickForLife]

What did you end up with? I just got a mystery chick that's either a Cream Legbar or an Olive Egger, so I'm searching the forums for pictures to try to figure out which one she is. I was curious how yours turned out.

Olive Egger!

Olive Egger!

Cool! Thanks for letting me know. I'm going to keep checking this as my girl keeps growing. She's just shy of 2 weeks right now.

Taco is adorable. Great name!

I'm pretty sure mine turned out to be a Cream Legbar. She's not exactly perfect breed standard, but she looks more like a Legbar than not. I guess the final test will be figuring out what color egg she lays when she starts laying this fall.

Any update on this thread regarding egg color? I’m having the same problem but have to wait two more months for eggs.

Not yet. She's just 16 weeks, and her comb is pure yellow, so I think I've got a while to wait. I think she looks more like a legbar right now. This picture is about a month old, but you can see what I mean:

Agree, she does look more CCL. The “partridge” olive eggers tend to have more gold. CCL lay blue, but I have seen some that lay more aqua/green in color.
