I guess I really don't have a problem with people making hybrids. I hatched out some sex link hybrids this year and people loved them. I didn't advertise them as Cream Legbar hybrids though, I sold them as sex links that lay green eggs. I am also offering Easter Eggers from my Cream Legbar...

All kidding aside I think it would be great if something like that could be arranged. I am not very good at noticing where people live but perhaps a semi convenient location could be decided on. I would be happy to volunteer some time to help coordinate an event like this. I have never entered...

The APA standard can be written to accommodate some variation with a preferred standard. It all depends on the wording. This would be a realistic way of writing a standard- a rigid difficult to obtain standard usually causes problems and in the end will hinder the appeal of the breed to...

Here Here! Except for the president part. I can barely run myself most days.

Chickat, thanks for going ahead and posting pictures. I know it can be hard to use examples without potentially offending someone. I am having a hard time collecting pictures so I am going to cheat and just use the ones you posted. I think pics 1, 3, and 4 are what I consider the "ideal range"...

I agree, I think it would be a great thing to do. Honestly, I am still so confused about what the ideal color is that I have been trying not to worry about it too much and just work on type and all the other problems I have with my birds. I also really like the idea that Chickat had of a...

Thanks so much to all that have replied! Each time I feel like I am starting to understand all of this I realize I still have a long way to go. I need to read all of this again but I appreciate all of the clarification. I am sorry Chickat if I misinterpreted your stance. I understand what...

Ok, I don't mean to beat a dead horse but I have been reading all these recent posts with great interest. I am still trying to understand all of this and how I should be moving forward with my birds. In referencing the cream debate, right now I guess I can see both "sides" and I think both have...

I agree with you on this. I think there is room for variation. In fact, I don't think there will be a choice. Nature loves variation and even when you have the very best breeding program it pops up. Most of it isn't harmful and I believe it is ultimately the best thing for the birds. And...a lot...

I am so glad I missed all of that! It must just be growing pains that people always have to go through these things. There is a saying somewhere about how things are rejected, ridiculed and then eventually accepted.

Thanks for the revival of this discussion KendyF. I have a feeling it is just going to take time to get to where we want to be with Cream Legbars in the US. Also, I guess I don't understand who all the naysayers are? Granted I don't get around the internet much. But if it is people with...

I think I need to clarify my position because people aren't psychic and don't know what I am thinking. So here goes. I have come full circle on the subject of creating an alternative SOP. At first I thought it seemed like a good idea and then with more reading and discussion, I decided it wasn't...

Well, I am not a facebooker either! Yet. I figure once I join it will be death to facebook so you can all thank me for keeping facebook alive. I do think your male has cream hackle feathers. He just has other colors too. Maybe too much for the proposed SOP. Most birds aren't perfect...

I was wondering the same thing. I think the conclusion that I have come to is that there is room for some color variation in the current proposed standard. It does allow for some color. I imagine there will be a more desired look as things develop along. And I imagine that it will go back and...

That is great Chickat! You have been very helpful to me and generous with your time. There are several CL enthusiasts that go above and beyond in my opinion. I hate to admit it but, I have just recently figured out what ovations are and how they work (I am bit slow ) and have been really bad...
