Cream Legbars

[RonoKT]

Hi all. I have recently hatched some cream legbars, they are lovely little birds, the only light breed I have and they are flying very well. I hatched 4, I think I have one cockerel, it hatched very pale, I have heard pale males are good breeding stock. I started a thread about this chick and posted some updates today and it was noted by @duluthralphie that it had a white breast, this doesn't seem right for the breed, I would love some more opinions in the chick. Here is the link https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/...llets-and-a-super-pale-cockerel#post_16575195
I am also unsure about one of the "pullets" any advice on either matter or any other would be well appreciated. Thanks.

I am from the UK so this is not the GFF line. I git the eggs from a seller on eBay, I don't know anything about the line.

This chick does not appear to be a cream legbar, maybe a mix or another breed all together. Male CL chicks should be gray and white barred

Do you have pictures of your other chicks?

 

[RonoKT]

There are pictures on the thread I linked to. I will post some here too. The others are definitely CL and they all hatched from the same blue eggs, it could be a mix though. I believe the seller only keep barred Wyandotte bantams other than CL..

Yes, I assumed it was a CL so the pale colour at hatch has me thinking it is a male. If there is something else in the mix then the sex is unknown to me.

Is the keg colour incorrect also? It's different to my other three

Leg color should be yellow. On all of them. They usually hatch a little pale and darken up as they age. I would say there is probably something "wrong" with the whole group.

They are hatched from eBay eggs so there are no real assurances of anything. I'll see how they develop!

I agree.
