umm.. let see.. crossing Silver duckwing with gold duckwing has only ruined the Silver side not the Gold side, and thats because of the dominant nature of red enhancers, so be careful, I for one would use Silver duckwing Leghorns instead, the clean silver ones, that will prevent any unwanted...

I really like your dark barred male, while dark, he is also has good cream color, and in the SOP calls for dark well defined breast and underbody

I think what affected the regular gold legbar is that the Crele leghorn was already an stablished breed(from breeding Brown leghorn x Cuckoo leghorn) and were basically indistinguishable from each other , and Crele Leghorns have been autosexable during the same time as the "Autosexing" Legbar...

Tim Adkerson research on the matter.. source> http://www.maranschickenclubusa.com/files/eggreview.pdf "Another question arises as to why the Black Langshan x LightBrown Leghorn F1 cross segregated so many white egg shell layers Theanswer is that the Leghorn also carried a recessive autosomal...

Leghorns are known to have brown egg shell inhibitors, unlike most other breeds

I agree,

Crele leghorns have been int he UK before Legbars too

I can only agree with science, and when a post makes genetic sense(like 2 + 2 = 4 or B/b+ x b+/- = 50% B/- ) I will agree with it too

I agree with him then, BR did nothing but add the barrin gene to the original Legbar, it may have contribuited to some tinted egg too, but this is not longer the case I belive

here have a nice read, http://www.theleghornclub.com/TextCuckoo.htm

you mentioned that Punnett went about creating the Barred elghorn to later create the Legbars, well guest what? the Barred/cuckoo Leghorns were introduced in the UK way back in 1880s and by 1910 they were as nicely marked as Barred Rocks so I am still wondering why was the barred rocked used at all

this is an Over simplification, but gets the idea understood, and what they have on head is not a tuff, its a crest, from the Chilean stock Punnett used on this project, I have always asked myself as to why Barred rocks were used in this cross? I mean the Crele, Cuckoo and Barred Leghorn...

This makes no sense, rephrase your question and I gladly answer it genetically

Black bird does have some of the nicest cream colored males I have seen, nice contrast of Dark barring and cream hackle and saddle color, or at least the ones I see, he does have some light barred males so the contrast is not so deep as his Dark barred males

Thats a good question, so far "Cream" Adult birds have hatched from both Light and dark males

well I will not bite anyways, I know better now, I lost my "Educator" Batch trying to debate genetics with poeple that dont believe in science, that got me demoted, I only got my batch again because I am Top 0.1% (thats 1 tenth of a percent) for most helpful posts, and I am NOT about to lose it...

you keep doing that.. you will get far

its "Odd" looking untill better pics are shown..

well if it was a 50/50 or less I say 40/60(people thinking it was odd or others thought it was ok) then you know some monitors can reproduce different type of shades, then it would be your call, BUT if you post say 5 male chicks and if 90% of people say that 4 are males and 1 looks "Odd" then...

I am just saying, if you post your chicks here and people say one of them looks Odd, then dont breed this Odd looking chick..
