Want to confirm breeds!

Hello all!

Attached below are pictures of my three chicks who are a week old. I ordered them from Meyer hatchery so I’m fairly confident they should be the correct breed of what I ordered. One is a cream Legbar, an Easter Egger, and a blue splash maran. Just looking for verification from everyone with a good eye!

Look right to me, congrats on the new additions

I somewhat expected to see a crest, or at least the beginnings of one, on the legbar chick. But they come with or without crests so it may well be a legbar. Good luck!

Legbar chicks don't have a visible crest until their head feathers come in.

Unlike polish which have the distinct "poof" at hatch, legbars, etc develop the cresting as they feather in

Updating this thread with some new pictures at 4 weeks old. My legbar seems to be developing more of a comb than the others at the moment. All supposed to be female. Is this a characteristic of the breed or sign of a rooster?

The Legbar is a pullet no need to worry. The Leghorn in their background influences their comb growth.
