Olive Egger

[_Kelley_]

She may not get one, crosses do not always. I see a slight crest in @EmmaRainboe pullet.
Other crested chickens are silkies and polish among others.

The birght orange eyes are from her Black copper marans parent most likely. The crest is a puff of feathers at the top of the head. In cream leg bars they lay flat and can raise them up when alarmed. Crosses normally have smaller versions of them.

I'm not sure about @_Kelley_ but it makes sense that mine would be half cream legbar. I have this other cross I got from the same breeder who I am also fairly certain is a cross with a cream legbar.

She just said it was an olive egger when we first got her as a chick. Later when she matured we asked and the breeder said it was a cross of a Welsummer and a Cream Legbar. However someone on here told me that wasn't possible because of the comb and she has very lightly feathered legs. So I am certain of the cream legbar, breeder says other half is Welsummer but others say not possible, so I guess I will never know for certain.

I think black copper Marans have lightly feathered feet! Very beautiful chicken! Do you have photos of it as a chick?

Sure do! Here she is! I also put a picture of her a couple weeks ago where you can see her legs, unfortunately no eggs from her either yet.

Exactly! I don't really care what breed my birds are, I love them all! But sometimes its cool to know
