What Breed?

[Country Birds]

Can anyone tell me what breed my chicken is? We got her from our local feed store as a chick in the “rare breed” bin just for a fun surprise. She’s about 13 weeks old and has this weird poof on her head. Of all the chicken breeds I’ve seen, she looks most like a Cuckoo Marans to me, however, a lot of the Cuckoo Marans I see pictures of have way more barring and lack the head poof.

Looks like an Easter egger.

Interesting, I never considered that! I thought Easter Eggers had greenish legs most of the time?

I’d guess more of an olive egger, the tuft usually tends to be those vs Easter eggers. Though technically they’re the same thing, just a mix that hopefully lays coloured eggs. Not all EEs have green legs due to this

Cream Legbar?? These are my two: one of them has almost always had more brown on the breast, but the 'silver' one (blue is correct?) is catching up. I love the little poufs behind the comb!
Photos: Jul 18, 4th & Jun 26

First 2 photos are at 12 weeks, #s 3 & 4 at 10 weeks, & her best pic I could find, the silver girl at 9 weeks. They are shyer than the others in the flock, but seem to have warmed up to us more since we took the 2 roos out of the pen last week

If yours are too, look for blue eggs!
(Sorry I didn't get better photos of them, but they are a sex-link breed and I've been looking for the boys. We haven't named any yet...there may yet be boys...)
Don't mind the roo in the 4th picture, he was re-homed yesterday

She's an Olive Egger.

I have a six-week-old that looks similar. Is it common for them and partridge olive eggers to have larger cream-colored combs at this age?

She’s an Easter egger (marans x cream legbar).
