    I doubt there is enough market for birds from tested parents. However, the scam part is someone spending what DNA sequencing and only charging $35 for it. I have no doubt in the next 5 years there will be a app on our phones to sequence 🧬.

    I looked up the cost of running a test, including pads. Reagents and the equipment, plus training and education and it doesn’t add up. At $35 a pop your not covering the costs. The lowest cost I could find was ~$100.00 not including expendables. I understand places like ancestry.com does it...

    The whole thing sounds scammy to me.

    Which again makes no sense on a thread about a breed that only lays blue eggs. Any and every legbar has the blue egg gene or he/she is not a Legbar.

    Why would we do this when all our birds lay blue eggs?

    I would think a cross. Body type is good. I would like a little more back length. I like the large crests as long as the bird can see up. I would have preferred a standard of large crest and small comb.

    The Standards are something we shoot for, very few birds will ever make it. I am as tough on my own birds as I am on others birds, maybe tougher. I am not trying to be rude when discussing the birds and the SOPs. I just take them very seriously. We have enough people fighting the Legbars being...

    The other thing would be to breed to small combed hens like these. Neither of these hens have large enough combs but they could bring his comb into line. I would think the top hen help with the crest, however would not help the tail set. The bottom hen would help the tail set, crest and comb...

    That is really stretching the meaning of a crest. But I agree there is one, kind of. I think the crest should be more than a skull cap. But that’s the challenge of a large comb and a crest. There just isn’t a lot of real estate on the top of the head. That lack of chestnut on the crest and...

    7 points to the comb straight with no folds.

    His color is not too bad for a Gold Crele, however the duckwing could be better. The white tail feather is not good. He needs a better breast and more pronounced keel. The comb is terrible. His tail angle is too sharp. His hackles are closer to cream than gold crele at the bottom. I only see...

    I thought that’s what I said. It appears you have not picked up the Canadian qualities you seem to admire.

    I am simply getting too old to continue. Some claim they can sex the whites, I cannot. As far as the sexing goes, it is a breed trait to propagate, however will make no difference in the SOPs.

    I have bred the gold duck wing out of mine. Or had. I am no longer going to show and maybe out of birds in a year or two. As I recall the duckwing was permissible but not desirable.

    I actually wanted to do the whites first, that way color was not an issue, but I was out voted. The gold-crele can be as difficult as the creams. There are too many colors in them. Hopefully, the new board will work it out.

    I am not a fan of the Gold-crele color and I know how much work it is to eliminate it. I organized one of the shows up here to count towards APA. I don’t recall the number of birds or exhibitors, but we had enough to qualify. However, even at that show the Best of Breed was exhibited as a...

    I thought you had posted them, I apologize if I have yours mixed up with someone else’s mutts. Part of the problem is all these varieties. Everyone makes it harder to get the SOP through the APA. I had hoped the SOP would be approved by this time, however, the APA wanted tighter...
