Supposed to be cream legbar, but...

These are my three easter eggers,
Do you know if the fluffy cheeks are pretty prevalent in Easter eggers? We have two and I compared their combs to the little chicks because I thought possibly they could at least be mixed, but every Easter egger I’ve seen has fluffy cheeks and I don’t know if mixing with another breed would affect that.
 
I went back and really looked at the pictures again I think maybe I took lavender for bluish or gray from here?
The legbar? He’s got some whitish gray on him, but it’s only a slight gray tint. We have lavender orpingtons, I can try to get a photo of him with one of them tomorrow if they will stay still long enough, I’m not sure how obvious the difference will be in photos but there’s definitely a difference in person.

"Easter Egger" just means it's supposed to lay blue or green eggs--they already tend to be somewhat mixed.

A lot of Easter Eggers are wanna-be Ameraucanas, so they often have fluffy cheeks. But they don't always have them. The last time I ordered some, I got 4 with fluffy cheeks and 1 without.

Yes, crossing Easter Egger with something increases the chance of getting one without the fluffy cheeks.
