Hi
I read a great deal on here of the good points bad points dark points and light points, find some of it interesting, informative and some of it blatant advertising by some professing to know huge amounts about this breed.

Hi
I read a great deal on here of the good points bad points dark points and light points, find some of it interesting, informative and some of it blatant advertising by some professing to know huge amounts about this breed.
I have kept Legbar for while now but never introduced myself until now due to being a noob before hand and now I have a little knowledge and experience in breeding them (AS A HOBBIST) I thought i'd say hi and maybe give my opinions and ideas to help my Fellow neighbour
the truth is that USA stock needs better Birds. refining a bird that was already refined cannot be re-refined if its gone wrong
it needs getting rid of and starting again
in UK there are some top quality breeders and Legbar are readily available so my stock I don't need to fix it or clean it or refine if its wrong I just get shot of it and start again
if USA breeders don't wish to do that then good luck to you I cant make you or force you.
Emily is not stupid she is an award winner and still she is so humble that on the phone today she said im not an expert when I spoke to her and said I believe your a Legbar expert
You think EdeG did it like that, you take what you have and improve by breeding until you have something you are happy with OR do not call yourself a breeder. These lines are not going to mix easily you are inviting a $hit storm and put yourselves back to day 1.We can't wait until the Rees birds are available here!
Someone with some common senseI feel like we have just taken a huge step backwards with the Cream Legbars. Last year people in the U.S. were comparing their Cream Legbars with the top lines in the UK and wondering if their flock would ever match their quality. Then they started hatching and many around the country were presently supprised to see good things come out of the brooder. I am not sure why people are again saying we can't improove our stock. I didn't listen to them last year and I am not going to listen to them this year either.
How can you say this, you are telling them they need better birds and admitting you have a little knowledge. You didn't yet run out and buy your eggs because you saw a picture.
Please excuse my ignorance but I am new to this chicken lark, I have 2 5 week old cream crested legbars and i am just wondering what exactly you guys are calling a perfect example of a legbar?
well we are not all genetics experts like you nicalandia, And a production red would never come out all white sally, but since it is a cross you never know right. Maybe your just trying to throw a jab when the opportunity arises but he did say the CL was his only roo. That means a cross production red. I'm sure you had the same confusion when some of our CL came out all white (WHY WOULD THEY, WHY WOULD THEY). I'm working on a Cross that i believe will have white and colored chicks , sex linked. I need to hatch a bunch more to be certain. Anyway don't worry about it sally.why would a production Red be white at hatch?
thanks for the link HaHaUthinkso. I like the long legs on this roo. the carriage says no suggestion of stiltiness would the legs on that roo be stiltiness or no.If you fix the picture as type and apply the colour outlined in the standard you will not go far wrong. Compare images you see with this and judge for yourself, everyones eye is different.
