I order chickens from mypetchicken.com and have a mystery chick. I don't know what breed this little four week of chick is. Looks to be a rooster big comb with hint of red already .

She almost looks like my Easter Egger some features but the yellow legs and yellow downy/ has to be from something else. No expert just thought I’d throw in that Easter eggger/ Americana idea the fluffed feathers around her neck maybe?
 
My first guess was Cream Legbar as well. He still may have a crest. They often don't pop up until about 6 to 8 weeks of age. So if he develops a crest, then it is likely a Cream Legbar.

Edited to add: Looking really close at the pics, I wouldn't rule out some tiny cresting as there are long feathers in the crest line.

He also looks to have the white ear lobes of the CL.

He's definitely male; only males have that sort of double-barring (the barring gene makes the white stripes. Two copies of the gene means more white, so lighter barring, and the gene is sexlinked, so only males have to copies)

I see it now, yes, Cream Legbar Roo. Never had one before. Beautiful coloring
