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. So clear headspot or not, there should be a big difference between male and female chicks as soon as they are dried (if not before ;) ). If that's not what you...

Chestnut is a reddish brown and many people interchange red with chestnut in conversation. It can get confusing :)
Can you give him some more time to grow in? I'm not seeing anything that screams "undiluted color" yet, and he's so little still. It is possible that he is in-between or he may just be a darker cream too. The shoulders seem to be the easiest tell when the adult feathers come in. Solid or almost...
Cream is both a color description and a genetic term. In genetics, cream is diluted gold and a bird needs to get the cream genes (ig) from both parents to look cream. Some birds are lacking these diluting genes so they end up more gold colored than cream. Some have one set of cream genes and...
