Sold as a Bielefelder

[FinnEllaMom]

My two girls have some crazy feathers on top of their heads... I'm sure they're mixed with something but don't know enough about different chicken breeds. They have been very timid/skittish with me since I got them in February. They're good with the other girl's, RIR, Blue Andalusian, Olive Eggers and barred Rock. Any thoughts?

Those do not look like pure Bielefelders to me. Biels don't have a crest on their heads.

Not Bielefelders for sure, as they’re also not barred. I’m guessing they’re Legbar-based Olive Eggers.

Thank you! Whatever they are I think they are cute and I am looking forward to seeing what color eggs they lay.

Those look like cream legbars. They lay blue eggs

My girls are now laying and I believe you are correct.

Check out this egg and I'm positive it came from one of these girls. I saw her in a nesting box and waited...

It's an Olive Egger! One parent must be a Crested Cream Legbar!
