Cream Legbar rooster?

[Bobbyc1980]

I bought a couple of cream legbar chicks from TSC. They were supposed to be both female. Pretty sure one is a rooster. Am I right? Thanks

Yep, that's a cockerel

Guess I’m in the cream legbar breeding game now

I ordered a couple so I can raise my own chicks. They look a lot like yours!

Both boy and a girl

I've heard they aren't fond of containment so I'm concerned about having a couple roosters of this breed. Anyone keep their legabrs in a run with roosters?

You are in for a treat. Legbar roosters are one of my favorite hatchery Roos. Very instinctive and gentle with hens.

I know breeding for olive eggers is a science (which I have failed miserably at for years) but if you get an Maran or welsummer you'd maybe be able to hatch some of the elusive little devils.

***waits for OE specialist to tell me this combo won't work ***

which is the cockerel? I have an exact copy of the gray one (see my avatar!) So I am assuming from this that I have a cockerel also.

Cream Legbars are auto sexed males will be barred and female’s will be solid
