    I think you will find @Bantambird and @Duluthralphie have a good eye for all things Legbars. For Cream Legbars and Golden Crele Legbars, you should be able to identify gender; the Whites are known to have inconsistent patterns at birth due to the variabilities of the recessive white gene...

    Cream Legbar Working Group: Standard of Perfection

    Hi. I would choose the first guy, but not if it is the same as the Roo in the second pic which has a comb defect. In the last picture the one on the left has insufficient barring and the one on the right has a bad tail angle (as seen in another shot)...both take multiple generations to...

    Welcome to Cream Legbars. Some extra work that your group will need is to breed towards double cream, lighter crests, and 6 points for the rooster's comb. They do have other nice elements that are worthwhile. I actually like your ugly duckling. Her tail may be a little pinched in this...

    Thank you for your service. I appreciate the information. I looked up the Tustin base, sounds like it was a busy place to be and the CH-53's were a critical piece. Glad to know your time here was memorable.

    Hi, I agree with other posts, I think you have 2 males. The color on chick #1/female looks a little off, definitely very dark. Are these your first Cream Legbars? Thanks for your interest in the breed.

    The down color does appear to be cream.

    Cream Legbar Working Group: Standard of Perfection

    That's interesting, re: color blindness and the roosters - I wonder if you see the chestnut shoulders as black or gray? How about the gold in the crest and saddle feathers? Would it be accurate to say you see more monochromatic tones than specific colors? If so, I think the way that would...

    Hi, both pics appear to be in the more colorful range of "Cream" Legbars. The "blue" eggs tend to come in a few shades, often with a touch of green; but look more blue next to a decidedly green egg. Thanks for posting.

    Breeders seem to notice different traits the longer they work with specific breeding groups. Here's some of my observations, which may or may not match up with others: A range of down colors (2 females, one male). In my breeding flocks they reliably feather in as: (left) cream, (middle) gold...

    Hi, popping in to say - I think Roo#1 has better body type (shape), and he appears to be cream with a heavy influence of chestnut; others may have different input. His barring has nice contrast to his hackle and saddle feathers, and a nice straight comb. White tail feathers are a common...

    I have been looking at my breeding groups with a different eye, hmmm. Hope to get some hatched out and ready for fall shows =)

    Cream Legbar Working Group: Standard of Perfection

    What I'm seeing - in both genders that favor the English Leghorn, the curve of the chest sets up higher, more in line with the top of the wings/shoulder, rather than the lower curve which aligns with the bottom of the tucked up wings. This reminds me of hybrids between large body breeds and...

    The "angles" shown in the illustration for the English Leghorn, look more like my experience with the CL than the photo of the English Leghorn does. I have a new batch of cockerels that matches the back and tail of the English Leghorn really well, but tend to be a little fuller in the chest...
