HI!Also...I looked up the Gold Legbars standard (available HERE on page 54) and both the neck hackles and saddles are described as "Pale Straw" for the Gold Legbars. I also looked up photos of the Old English Game Bantams and those Crele birds also have matching saddles and hackles although they are NOT a pale straw but more chestnut color.
the note for mismatched hackle/saddle feathers was proposed as an identifier for the alternative legbar SOP,
primarily because 1) we see alot of that and 2) it would differentiate the crele legbar from the cream, and maybe from all other crele or gold varieties.
Do you see a problem with straying from the normal language?
Of course, it will take some time to see if the mismatched saddle/hackle colors are a consistent element in the offspring...
