Congratulations~~~ That is a beautiful shade of blue IMO!I have two clb at point of lay and am getting blue eggs i did notice however where the egg got a little soiled the other day it had green streaks but cleaning off the soiling its blue.. Also they should not be green green if they are they are mixed with a brown egg layer...
Keep us posted on how he grows. NICE yellow in straight leggs with good length... One of the larger crests I have ever seen on a CL cockerel. The color is light which is considered highly desirable by many---and .... the light dusting of chestnut, may lighten or darken as he grows. Although his tail is not fully in the picture, it looks like he is holding it at the 45-degree angle that is the ideal...and he's also holding his wings very well. All good signs......The comb may have a bit of a wiggle---but as long as it doesn't traverse his head diagonally like one cockerel I grew out had...you have potential for a nice upright comb. All in all a very nice bird - How old and where did you get him or get the eggs? :O)I know this is a pic forum, but also would love opinions on one of my cockerels...
Love all your pics BTW!!!
Generally the roosters have a much smaller crest than the females. The crooked comb rooster that was here had a big spikey crest..but it was because he had a diagonal comb. Time will tell how your little one grows out.... Can't wait to see your updated pict. Congrats to you and CJWaldon for nice Cream Legbars!Thank you for that feedback!! I have been calling him "Blondie" b/c he is so much lighter than the other 2 cockerels I have. All the credit should go to CJWaldon, he is from her =) Thanks Candace!! Oh, in this pic he is about 3 months old, he is coming on 4 months now... time for an updated picSo how much of a crest "should" the roos have?
