    Sounds like you have a solid plan, and I think most of us paid too much...at least in the beginning :D Do you know you can pin the SOP to the cages? Congratulations on your win!SOP Most of the Judges are getting to know our breed since it has been introduced to the Standards Committee, who are...

    I hear you in regards to showing birds, but as an advocate for preserving the Cream Legbar as a breed, autosexing must be encouraged to propitiate the breed. I do not hatch chicks that I can't tell apart at hatch. As an encouragement, the only way autosexing will disappear is if the hard to tell...

    X2 quick reminder to anyone new, in males the headspot should sort of travel down over the body creating a washed out blurry pattern.

    Technically, crele is the pattern of barring on top of duckwing. So both cream and 'crele' (which is a working name for the gold Legbar variety, it will probably be voted on soon) Legbars are crele patterned. The gold birds will be patterned much like the cream variety, but with more vibrant...

    Cream Legbar Working Group: Standard of Perfection

    Thank you for sharing your beautiful bird! The Autosexing being off is most likely because it appears that your boy is missing the barring gene from one parent (totally a guess and based on lack of barring in the tail), and that is an important part in creating the different patterns.

    In the UK, the PCGB list blue, green, and olive as colors for the eggs. In the U.S. draft standard we list blue or green as colors for the eggs.
