Like everyone else, I crossed the Cream Legbars with Rose Comb Brown leghorns. I used a Legbar rooster over the Brown Leghorn hens but you can do it either way. The Rose Comb is dominant so you know right away if the offspring are carrying that trait. All of the first generation offspring will have one blue egg gene and one white egg gene. Unfortunately breeding the white egg gene back out takes a little longer.
Physically the offspring are autosexing just like legbar chicks.

Now I need some brown leghorns!
(My CL rooster is going to lose his massive comb to frostbite. I’m actually hoping he does, so I don’t have to dub it)
