    Quote: Looking good! Love the barring. I miss my Legbars. I may get some eggs next spring from the guy who purchased my birds last year. He did not breed any so far so I don't know what they could look like this generation. But I miss them and I just don't know if I want to do 2 breeds but...

    The female head stripe will appear randomly until you formalize your breeders from what I could garner and what I see in images now. I think once you start breeding your birds with no out sourcing you can have a good idea of how important it is to You. I had a lot of heads spots in my females...

    All your boys' wings are carried too low. You may want to raise your roost so that the muscles get better use. No 1 has better barring on hackle, saddle and wing bay. Cannot tell on the breast. Tail not as much white as the 3 and 4. Overall barring is uneven. Cannot tell on comb. Nice yellow...

    Been reading through the thread since my last post and y'all have ben up to some great work and good discussions. I kept 2 Rees pullets and they have been laying for a bit now but the egg color for one is a definite green. I only have the 2 Rees and 3 Marans, a Bresse and my first Legbar ever...

    Sold of my last 2 boys - Cemanis - in auction on RBA so out of breeding for a bit as I have no more roosters on the property. I wish you all luck. I kept my original gold hen and 2 Rees pullets. A good deal of my birds went local and one gentleman acquired a nice number of girls and guys so I...

    These are my most recent chick picks of the Rees line Legbars. They are older now and in an outdoor pen but they did display barring as the feathers were growing out. I do not recall seeing feathers like the ones on your chick photo on any of my boys. His feathering seems to be lacking barring.

    I'm thinking I'll do some form of line breeding and keeping a closed flock pretty much after this year. I see no reason to add any new birds with what I have on hand now... Nice to have you near so if I do have to outsource I can look to you! since you have some of my stock. If you need a...

    I like his profile the best. He is not crested and he has more color than I'd like - both issues for me if he were mine but he has a nice substantial look to him. I found GaryDean's points to be good ones to note and pay attention to. His tail also seems more open than the other two but he...

    YOur first girl is probably just evidencing cream in her plumage more so than the second girl. They both look like they may grow out well but it is way too early to make some judgments on your birds. There are different types of melanin (coloring) in different parts of the body. There are terms...

    Your boy looks good at this point. It is hard to tell much about the males until they start to really develop their hackle, shoulder and saddle feathers. The shanks and feet look nice and yellow. You will have to watch his plumage for any developing color as his breast feathers do seem a bit...

    These are my youngest chicks. I have 3 boys of my own and 1 girl and 11 Rees line legbars and 1 mystery chick. The other mystery chick died. I took them off the heat lamp last week and they have access to the outdoors in this brooder. They are cuties. These are 4 of the Rees line...

    I have had not a single aggressive rooster in my Legbar flock since I got them in October 2010. Not even when I had 11 roosters growing out in the same pen and coop over-winter. My oldest is over 2 years old and he has never charged at me. I had one younger one charge at me a couple times but I...
