Happy Sunday Dr. E! Nope, I was not referring to you. I think you are a great researcher, and I appreciate that we sometimes have differing views, or I would not have invited you to the table. As proven before there are times when I am vague, or I argue the misuse of an article when I actually agree with the point being discussed, and it comes out wrong. I apologize. I agree with what you're saying regarding the standard, and I do hear you. Since many seem to have the wrong impression about me, I am not condoning changing the CLB to a silver base, but this does not mean that a Cream Legbar can't look silver while still being genetically ig. I once played with the idea of trying to isolate the Ar with S to lessen it, but I couldn't find any quality birds to use so I never got to do my experiment. To Everyone: I move that we temporarily put a hiatus on the what color is cream debate. We will get back to it, but there are more pressing matters at the moment. I would like to continue the conversation with photographic support for an edit to the wing description, particularly a clearer more descriptive APA based description of the secondaries and all flight feathers. If anyone has photos of their Cream Legbar roosters with an open wing could you please post them? It would also be helpful if you added the age and colors of the neck/hackles and saddle with barring. Thank you for your help! Example from a pic Heather posted here last year. Age: checking Neck/hackles: cream barred with dark gray and straw with some chestnut. Saddle: cream barred with straw and minimal gray.
