What is this pretty lady?

Hi!

Would love some help identifying the chicken below with the tuft on the top of its head. I thought it was the same breed as its buddy (also pictured) without the tuft.

What do you think?

I'd guess it to be a Polish or silkie cross-maybe with cuckoo maran or barred rock.

Agree it's a cross of something tufted with something barred, but I would say cream legbar rather than polish. They have a pretty different crest style. If she's cuckoo marans x cream legbar you ought to get some lovely olive eggs!

Cream Legbar x Cuckoo Marans cross, which would make her an Oliver Egger.

She look like my Marbar chicken lays sage coloured eggs

Thanks, all! Yes, I believe she is an Olive Egger! I was looking at Meyer’s Hatchery website where she came from as part of a variety and I think she is a “Steele Egger” which is a designer style that lays blue or green eggs, probably a mix between cuckoo maran and cream legbar. AWESOME job, y’all!

Cream Legbar x Cuckoo Marans.

Yep....many hatcheries are producing them now as part of their olive egger lines

I agree with @Gray Farms
