Surprise chick - what breed is this?

[Waffluna]

I think this is likely our surprise chick. Any thoughts on the breed? From my limited knowledge and research I am thinking this is some type of sex-link male based on the white spot on it's head. Could it be a cream legbar?

Auto-sexing breed, male gender: probably correct.

I think not Cream Legbar, because they are supposed to have a small crest on the head.

Your chick reminds me of a Bielefelder chick that was my "mystery" chick one year. Nice cockerel-- grew a little faster than the sexlink cockerels I had in the same batch, no problems with temperament, tasted just as good as the other males when we butchered them.

Thanks! After a couple of days researching, I agree. It's legs are slightly tinted green and it is the biggest of the bunch. His temperament is great so far. Too bad we're not allowed roosters where I live.
