Plymouth Rock/Cream Legbar Mix?

[NubbyRyuu]

Looking at some chicken breeds and saw one called a Cream Legbar. I then remembered Cin has a Plymouth Rock hen that looks like she's constantly angry because her head feathers are always up. Cream Legbar has the same thing going on. Could she be a mix of the two, or is she just an angry birb?

Maybe. But there are a lot of crested breeds, and she is very likely crossed with one of them instead. My Polish/Cochin cross pair has head feathers like that. Does she lay green eggs?

EDT: The big crests on silkies and polish are caused by a combination of a weakness at the back of the skull, and the crest itself. If you cross one of those breeds with a regular-skulled breed, the crest looks pretty similar to what you have.

Huh, interesting. Yeah, she lays like, mint-colored green eggs, if that makes sense.

She is an F1 Easter Egger. She is a Legbar cross with either Cuckoo Marans or a Barred Plymouth Rock.
Where do you get her?

An F1 Easter Egger? Lol, wow, she sounds like quite the mix!

She is a Legbar cross with ..... Cuckoo Marans

That would be my guess too.

This bird in my show bird book reminds me of her but you can see your hens earlobes and this bird has a muff that makes you not see it
Also you can’t see in picture but this bird has a split comb
It’s a Brabant-cuckoo hen

She could also have barred Plymouth Rock

What color is her legs she also reminds me of a silver cuckoo maran hen

Also has the looks of a barred holland

None of these hens lay mint colored eggs though so I don’t know

She’s very beautiful but I think she might be a certain breed that doesn’t have a crest and just she has a special crest
I wonder if it happens from cross breeding certain breeds
Very lovely hen

Legbar cross.

She has a crest, it's not her head feathers raised up. I doubt she is angry, it just looks like that because the feathers go over her eyes a little.

Definitely not a barred rock. I agree, since she lays green eggs, that she's a first generation legbar cross to make easter eggers.
