I thought Cream Legbar…

Hi all! This gal laid her first egg today. To my surprise - it was brown! The lady that I purchased her from told me she was a Starlight Green Egger, but with that crest and coloring I felt fairly confident she was a Crested Cream Legbar. (The family I purchased from are good friends and new to the chicken raising world. This hen was a hatching egg they purchased from someone else. So parentage not truly known.)

Regardless! It surprised me to find a brown egg. I know it was her as she was the last of my laying girls in the box this AM. Either way she’s beautiful and definitely full of personality.

Any thoughts?

She doesn’t look like my starlight green egger, who has a larger comb and no crest.

We have a hen that looks just like her she had blue legs and lays a cream colored egg. We were hoping for blue eggs. Ours ended up being a cross. But regardless she is still beautiful. Ours is very flighty thou, literally she flies like a bird. lol.

Haha! This gal likes to tell me about myself and definitely has her right wings clipped. She loved to take flight for a few weeks! Thankfully, the wing clipped help and she’s free to roam the yard once more.

She looks like a mix. Probably of a crested cream legbar and a dark egger, such as a welsummer.

Hoovers has a couple different Olive Egger lines, one of which uses a Legbar/Welsummer cross. Like @janiedoe said, I think this is what yours might be. In the website description it says both crosses have a chance of laying brown eggs.
