    Too busy to keep up with the thread but the link sent me an e-mail- anyone wanting to see the comparison chart it is a public view, you need this link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11YRDkaByt7nOhcPs6IzxcV20jHficAEqQ_D44mA3IpQ/edit?usp=sharing

    Looks like you have two golds to me, one dark gold and one light gold. When I say cream neck this is what I'm talking about: Again it's splitting hairs since you just have them for eggs. They should lay pretty blue eggs regardless! And they have such sweet and curious personalities!

    CREAM legbars are unique because they should carry the cream gene, denoted as /ig/. It is a dilutor gene- Cream Legbars have a gold base and this cream gene "dilutes" the color to a buttery cream color. This was the first time poultry people had managed to isolate this gene- there are a few...

    They are both lacking the cream gene (or two, can't tell since it's recessive). Other than that they look typical for their age, can't tell much about quality until they get older- and need a nice clear shot from the side for that. Congrats!

    Good chance it will correct itself IMO. I see gold coming in the saddle area I think, keep an eye on that. Otherwise looks good for his age! Rinda

    The Legbar Thread!

    There are several good articles on this website: http://www.poultryshowcentral.com/ You are right to be paranoid. Have a nice set of quarantine cages set up away from your other pens so that after each show you can quarantine for a minimum of 2 weeks, preferably 3, and always care for those...

    If no one else is pipped I'd candle and check for movement.

    By strict definition "cull" means to remove from a breeding program, it is not synonymous with kill. Culls can be sold as egg layers, or even to another breeder. Just because a cull doesn't fit your breeding program doesn't mean it won't be a good start for someone else- depending on the flaws...

    Yay! Welcome to Cream Legbars, I hope you will love them as much as we do!

    I'd guess closer to 4 1/2 months old, maybe as much as 5.

    Yes exactly. Females do posture like this occasionally but males do this far more often- and tend to not back down when challenged by other chicks. It's using their behavior combined with other clues, like comb, leg size, and feathering pattern to make a gender guess. The more things add up...

    Might be female, but I'm thinking mixed breed. Some one hopped a fence maybe?

    If it hatched from a blue legbar egg, and the daddy was not barred, then the chicks can be sexlinked (not autosexing but sexlinked), and the white dot on the head at day-old indicated male. The stance in this picture means male, too. I think this is a boy.

    that's a hybrid male. No way it's pure or female.

    Only if you could source them locally, not if you had to ship them though... $40 will hardly cover the shipping!

    I NEVER get this in my Cream Legbar pen- but it looks EXACTLY like the sexlinks I make on purpose, a Black Copper Marans roo over Cream Legbar hen. Sometimes they have feathered legs sometimes not as my BCM roo is not very well feathered on his legs. Another indicator- do you see the tint of...
