Let me tell you a story about my RB/CCl roo over welsummers last summer. The hatch was good and the chicks looked like welsummers with the stripes and everything. I was planning to put the roo over these pullets so the roos can be double barred. Well, The girls had darker tinted legs and I had...

They are sexable at hatch. At least the ones that was sold to me and later I found the guy had the CCL roo with the rhodebar hens. Of course I have no idea what else was mixed in there. I was not happy. But yes they have the dots and stripes.

I would agree that those pictures show that they are boys with the size of head spots. It sure is nice to know what is what at that age so a person does not dump tons of money into them to find out that they are a male. I might have to get a maran to get that nice cross. Talk about some really...

If they are pure legbar then that is the case. If they are a legbar cross then that is not always true.

Ok, dont shoot me if it turns out to be a roo but by the way it is looking and the wattle, it is a pullet. You are hiding the tail feathers but it looks like a pullet. Now this is coming from a person who picked pullets and they started to crow. Not a single one was a pullet.

I look at the comb and wattles and tail feathers and wing placement. I have buckeye mixes that I cannot tell which is which due to the comb. I will have to wait until they start to crow or the tail feathers get longer. Good luck as I don't believe all of the pics are roosters.

I am no expert as I saved the best chicks from my last hatch and the 15 chicks ended up to be 15 roosters...and 7 bags of feed later. Well they were mighty tender at 12 weeks old... Ok I think these 2 are roosters. I might be wrong and how old are they exactly?

Hope that it produces a blue egg!!!

Has anyone crossed with a silky? Would love to try that for blue eggs.

The great part is that the chicks are already autosexable at birth and they will lay olive eggs. I had some hens that was mixed like that but got rid of them because I didnt want olive eggs at the time.

She is either big or you have small chickens around her. I was thinking about putting a rhodebar roo over red ranger hens both for faster meat growth and egg production if red rangers lay worth mentioning. I like your idea about upping the size of the line as the legbars are not that big.

I agree that it will look like a wild chick.

I have welsummer hens that have spurs that are about an inch long. Just not right but they lay eggs.

Do they lay blue eggs? That would be cool if they did.

Here I go, Dont slap me, but he looks better than most pure breed legbar roos.

I want a CLxSilkie that lays blue eggs.

I was thinking about using a CL male to a silkie female. I would love small blue eggs as well. The neighbor has a frizzle who lays an drab olive egg. It is very small and cute.

Thanks, I found a picture on the Facebook legbar site that a person has a CCL X welsummer roo, so this is not my roo. I might have to try this. I really dont like olive eggs. Just my opinion, he is pretty other than his comb.

At least you don't have hens with spurs. I have welsummers, silver laced hens, and legbars all from three different breeders and all from three different states. All the same age within a week apart and not even a year old. Just glad not all of them has spurs. I am wondering if it is related...

Quote: If you breed the F1 hens back to the legbar roo, will the F2's be autosexing or am I thinking wrong? I was thinking about breeding my rhodebar roo to welsummer hens and back breeding . I was also going to do that with the legbar roo with welsummer hens and back breeding with roo. I know...
