    He looks really nice to me. He looks a lot larger and better color than most of the mature roosters I've seen in person definitely.

    That is exciting news that they can turn out to lay nice and blue later. I'm glad you mentioned it. Wow as blue as ams is pretty good.

    And the nice blue eggs came from the color hen that is more like the first GFF imports. The darker overall color. I like the lighter color but bluer eggs. I wonder what kind of outcross would lighten the feather color add crest and add a little brown to the blue egg.

    I had a hen that lays marans size eggs and lays just about every day too. I sold her but I think the big eggs are getting more common with the breed. Edit: ... they weren't as blue as I would have ideally liked them to be though. My Only really nice blue eggs were smaller.

    I think those are some good egg sizes! It seems to me from visual estimate that size is almost similar to a lot of marans eggs.

    Especially the females of cream legbars and rhodebars can sometimes look very similar as chicks.

    Hi Nicalandia, So, sorry to keep trying to reduce this down to something simpler than it probably is.. but am I correct in thinking (based on your post) that CL males that look cream colored, probably are cream colored? Because they most likely carry red enhancers.. so, if they appear to have...

    So either red enhanced and cream or double barred (as all male CL are) and not cream and not red enhanced .. Will give you roosters with the same colors?

    The more silver look has grown on me because I only like the cream colored hens. So if that means roosters that will produce those hens 100% of the time will look silver then I'm ok with it

    .. I am still amazed with this. Does this mean a CL rooster that appears cream could just be double barred? And there is really no way to know visually? Sorry I've been out a while and now shocked to see this!

    Wow I have to say thank you for this too. These pictures are amazing. Sorry for this question as I should have picked this up by now.. But is double barring not possible on female CL?

    My personal opinion on it... is that you should stay! And just be nice :-). Everyone makes mistakes. I make HUGE mistakes. I think you can just continue to be involved if you would like to. That's my opinion. You have a lot to contribute.

    Thank you for redeeming the thread. I'd given up on it. I agree with you completely.

    That makes sense, you're not only finding the best of so many but the relatively unrelated best of so many, which is unlikely to happen for a small breeder.

    Cream Legbar Working Group: Standard of Perfection

    That is sort of what I was thinking, except trying to do it on a smaller scale doesn't seem like it would be quite as effective, since everyone will breed the best of the few they have rather than the best of so many together. So rather than pooling the best of thousands together into a separate...

    I just have one question about this. I honestly do not know much about it so this is just a question.. if you had a few thousand and picked the best 100, it just seems to me like in that many birds the best of them would probably meet the SOP pretty well. So could you not just breed those birds...
