I just looked at my previous post and that is an obnoxious amount of questions, sorry
Haha! It's not! They're the same questions that I would have.
Let's see... The Cream Legbar is auto sexing so, no issue there. I would say that they are pretty matter of fact about the sexing issue. You get what you get, and you don't get upset. I got two Swedish Flowers from her, and one was a roo. My FBCM is a roo, but I wanted a roo so I intentionally chose the biggest one in hopes that it would be a cockerel, which it was. My OE just happened to be a hen. Ella has no problem letting you pick the chicks you want.
As far as having a roo goes, I don't think we are actually supposed to have roos in our town althoug tons of people in town raise chickens so I don't think anyone is really out policing that rule. I live in a neighborhood and although we have a good piece of land ( acre and a half-ish) we do have nearby neighbors. I didn't want a roo because of the crowing, but I came to feel that they were an integral part of a flock, PLUS I wanted to hatch out so fertile eggs. Long story short, our rooster wears a No Crow collar. It doesn't hurt him or keep him from doing any of his normal activities, but it doesn't allow him to take a deep enough breath to crow. He makes a noise, but it's honestly pathetic sounding. My Silver Spangled Hamburg hen is WAY louder than he is. So, the No Crow collar is a great option if you get a handsome roo and want to keep him.
My Cream Legbar is flighty. She got out of the run once and flew on top of the coop, and I was VERY scared that we'd lose her. However, I think well handled chicks are less flighty. The CL and OE were raised by a broody.
Feel free to ask as many questions as you'd like! I'll see what I can dig up for pictures.
