I thought his comb looked quite small in comparison to other Roos! Is his colouration normal? Or is his feathering too light?

This is Noodle my Purebred Cream Legbar Cockerel. He is lovely, calm, allows me to pick him up as I please and looks after his ladies well. Although he can be a bit daft and face a corner of a wall for a while, or call over the hens to look at some chicken poop :gig I was just wondering how...

this is the genetics for a pure breed Cream Legbar with Purebred Black copper maran hen... I think ... Might be wrong though!

I'm in the UK too and crossed my CL cockerel with my Marans (do not know if they mother was my Blue copper or Black copper), they hatched 3 days ago and I got one yellow chick with feathered legs, one black barred chick feathered legs and one black barred chick with no feathering on legs: Ask...

Thank you for explaining this so well! :hugsFinding chicken feathering genetics super interesting, although I don't know much! It's like a game of Cluedo, working out the genotypes from the phenotypes 🧐 I see now how unlikely he is to carry the wheaten gene, think I just got too overenthusiastic...

I think you cracked it, if both the CL cockerel and Maran hen carry the recessive Wheaten gene, you'll get a very small chance of having a barred wheaten female chick!

Makes a lot of sense, the eggs I hatched her from were from a mixed pen of marans (blue, black, splash etc)!!! Would not be surprised if the breeder also had wheatens :thumbsup

Looked at the barred cream gold duckwing colouration and my cockerel doesn't have any colour (just light white and grey barring) on his wingtips like the duckwing? 🤔 By the way, thank you for all the help! Really enjoying working it out. Will try and keep you updated on what colouring the...

So pretty! Yep, dead certain he's the father. There is no other cockerel for miles, they live in a completely closed garden, I hatched all the chicks myself and they haven't left our yard! There is no way they aren't the parents 🤔 Could it be some weird throwback from the cream legbars? The...

Could your Maran carry splash genetics? Splash Maran chicks look just like it did! With the white and dark spots?

Certain, however, I don't know which Maran (blue or black) is mother to each chick. The Marans are the only ones with feathered legs in my flock 🧐 Plus I saw the yellow chick hatch from the Dark brown egg! I played around with the chicken genetic calculator...

Just seen this and I just had a yellow chick hatch from a crested cream legbar cockerel crossed with either a blue or black Maran, just yesterday! Wondering if the same genetic thing happened? My other Maran cross cream legbar chicks are black, and one of the black chicks has no feathering on...

So I've recently been sucked into the black hole of what is chicken colouring genetics. And after days of research... I'm still a bit confused I've discovered how wonderfully complex and interesting this area is! And would like some advice, thoughts, opinions or maybe some links to information...

I had one name Godzilla too! :highfive: Proceeded to name all the other chicks after chicken dishes: Nugget, Dumpling, Noodle, Piri Piri, Pepper, Momo (type of chicken dumpling), Tikka, Tamari, Coconut, Chili, Pie and Nutmeg ... :gig

Sadly not, the egg was still growing,but incredibly slowly, the growth and movement eventually stopped and the veins started getting thinner and thinner. I think it had a genetic problem as the chick that was growing was slightly deformed. It might have hatched if it wasn't put on lockdown with...

The english Variety don't have feathered feet. They bred it out as they prefer clean legs. So feathers are on french lines but not the english lines, so might just be an english line of black copper maran?
