Is this a pure CCL roo?

[SuperMurshy]

He's almost 10 weeks old, came from a Crested Cream Legbar rooster and possibility of a Legbar hen. Think he is purebred?

To me he looks like he could be pure, but it will be easier to tell when he gets his adult plumage.

Do you know what color egg he hatched from?
Or what other breeds of hens were possible?

It might be possible to rule out some of them (for example, he does not have feathered feet, so he most likely does not have a mother with feathered feet.)

I know there is a cuckoo Legbar breed this would be the first time I’ve actually seen it.

The hens were Cream Legbars, Easter eggers, Copper Marans. There were some blue, green, and brown eggs all in the incubator at once so couldve been any! I know he's not Maran crossed at least

What hen would they be crossed with?

What hen would they be crossed with?

They are a separate breed they would be there own line he just looks like one.

That is a bit of a hard one to sort out

If he did have a pea comb or a muff & beard, that would prove that his mother was an Easter Egger. He does not have those, which unfortunately doesn't prove anything either way.

How are you sure he is not a Maran cross? A Black Copper Marans hen with a Cream Legbar rooster could produce sons that look much like he does.

Do you remember what color he was when he hatched?

I guess the reason I figured he wasn't a Maran cross is because the others that hatched I can definitely tell they came from a Maran. But totally could be! The black roo has feathered feet.

The roo in question guy was a brownish golden chick. He's starting to get some colour on his mid back

I feel that he just doesn't look quite "right" for a pure Legbar cockerel, but I can't put my finger on any specific detail, and I don't know the breed well enough to trust my sense of "not quite right." (The problem might be with me rather than with the cockerel!)

If the chick color was right, and if the adult color looks right, then it is quite possible that he is.

From what you say of the chick color, and the other chicks, I agree that he probably does not have a Marans mother.
