This CAN'T be a Crevecoeur can it?

[CalebtheChicken]

I have this one young bird that looks and acts VERY similiar to the describtion of the Crevecoeur breed in Storey's Illustrated Guide To Poultry Breeds.
But as I understand they are rather rare. Even more wierd is I got it at a 4-H poultry swap...

So is it a Crevecoeur or a mutt that just has Crevecoeur traits? It has a crest and a small beard.
Here is a few head pics of it:

Here's it's feet, they seem to be the same color as the legs of the birds in my book:

Help?

It looks like it might be one. Might just be hatchery stock, I know McMurray carries them.

What does the comb look like?

I can't see its comb, it's hidden by its crest. But before it grew the crest it didn't have any comb development.

It looks like it might be a hatchery Creve cockerel to me. The best way to tell is to look at the comb. A Creve will have "devil horns."

This bird pictured is a young roo...his beard isn't as nice as I'd like...

Oh and what color are the earlobes?

But don't Crevecoeur roo's crests flattin behind the comb? Or does that develope later in life? Also my cochin roo mounted it this morning

It doesn't really seem to have earlobes.... just small white spots were they should be.

What do you mean "flatten?" They should have a globular crest....unless you're thinking of a La Fleche?
