"Are you my mommy"?

[PinkChicka]

Any educated guesses on what breed her mom is?? Her dad is Crested cream legbar, and mom is one of the following: black sex link, silverlaced Wyandotte, gold laced Wyandotte, blue Andalusian, Russian orloff, or a Rhode Island red... I find her so very pretty and it is driving me crazy(er) not knowing what breeds made her!!!
Thank you all!!

I can't make a guess considering her father isn't correct. Cream Legbar males have two copies of the barring gene and would pass one to both genders. Since she isn't barred, I can say her father is not a Legbar but no other conclusions. I can also say at least one parent had white skin.

Probably a black sex-link mother.

Then her little egg fell from the sky and landed in my hens nest box!! My chickens are secure in their run and coop, I only let them out to run amuck 20 min before sunset with me sitting out with them until they put themselves to bed. If I let them out of my sight for a moment they have my gardens in shambles, like little feathered rotor tillers! I am explaining this in hopes you understand when I say her dad has to be a crested cream legbar and mother one of the listed because those were the only chickens I had. I still only have the 1 same rooster, the hens listed minus my 2 Andalusians. I incubated and hatched her along with 6 other hens eggs from my nest boxes. I am at a loss to understand how she came to be???

It's possible that the rooster carries only one gene for barring, in that case he can have daughters without barring. In most cases we assume that if he's full blooded Legbar he'll have two genes for barring which is considered normal.
Whatever the case, the hen isn't barred and she's the daughter of a barred rooster.
Being she's single comb from a single comb rooster you can rule out the Wyandottes and Orloff, so she has two single comb parents.
One difficulty is that she is mostly her sires color in the female version minus the barring.
Mothers possibilities are Black Sex Link, Andalusion or Rhode Island Red.
Because of how comb genetics work and all breeds are pure, if a Wyandotte mother is pure Wyandotte she would have given her daughter a rose comb when bred to a single comb rooster and if the Orloff is pure she would have given her daughter a cushion comb when bred to a single comb rooster.

I think point was, your rooster may be the father, but he does not have the genes that a purebred Cream Legbar is supposed to have.

Maybe post a photo of him, and that may help people figure out which genes came from him, which makes it easier to figure out which genes must come from the mother.

I think Rhode Island Red or the Black Sexlink are the most likely mothers, but I can't 100% rule out any of the others.

Being she's single comb from a single comb rooster you can rule out the Wyandottes and Orloff, so she has two single comb parents.

Because of how comb genetics work and all breeds are pure, if a Wyandotte mother is pure Wyandotte she would have given her daughter a rose comb when bred to a single comb rooster and if the Orloff is pure she would have given her daughter a cushion comb when bred to a single comb rooster.

Assuming they are the same quality as the "Legbar" rooster who produced a not-barred daughter, I wouldn't be too sure about that. It seems to be quite common for Wyandottes to show a rose comb and carry the not-rose gene. The same could also be true of an Orloff.

Given that the Wyandotte should have lacing as well as the rose comb gene, and the Orloff should have the rose comb gene and the pea comb gene and the muff/beard gene, I do think they are the less likely mothers. (The chance of those hens carrying the recessive for all those traits, and giving all those recessives to their daughter, doesn't seem very high.)

I would not expect the Andalusian to be the mother either, because all chicks from the Andalusian should be black or blue, not showing large amounts of silver or gold. But again, I wouldn't be 100% certain.

#1 Rooster, #2 one of the six eggs I inbcubated, #3 another daughter, #4 another daughter and a mama, #5 same daughter as #4, #6 a daughter, #7 a mama, #8 same as #1 Rooster

Unfortunately, the picture order is mixed up.

For example, there are two photos of a rooster who looks like a Cream Legbar, but they are #7 and #8.

Photo #1 looks like a Spangled Russian Orloff (although I think the comb is a bit wrong), absolutely not the rooster in #8 and not a Cream Legbar.

If you can put the numbers on the pictures, or in the file names of the pictures, it helps avoid confusion. I don't know why the pictures do not load in the correct order, but I've seen it happen to other people as well.

I haven't a clue how that happend, honestly it was the order I selected the files. I will definitely change file name itself. Thank you and sorry for confusion...
