Cream Legbar Hybrid Thread

[Bama1]

Shocked, absolutely shocked that I had a gorgeous blue egg out in the barn with my white leghorns. More shock when I started looking extremely close at them and discovered I have TWO imposters that I had put out there.... they were white, they all hatched the same time, so out they went! What are they? Sulmtaler rooster over Legbar, same as my others that hatched out the same time. This hen has black spots and is crested but has yellow legs. The imposter Roo is white skinned and has a small crest and has a yellowish cast to his hackle feathers and has a totally different shape than the leghorn roos. So two out of 12 hatched were this color and of the other 10 the roos are crele and the hens are partridge color. The Legbars came from the line that had some whites. This line of Sulmtalers are wheaten and carry blue. So what color are these then? The hen is white with black spots and the roo is white with yellowish hackles?

The hens hens are crele EE . I can't seem to load pictures today . Continuation of a auto sexing EE project . Just a short cut as the Legbar is double barred my project rooster is single barred . They should auto sex .

If I mate a CCL rooster and a Barred Rock hen, could the resulting hen look like a barred rock and lay a blue green egg?

The resulting pullets will lay a green egg, maybe a light olive colored one.

And they would be barred, too.

Sulmtaler x Legbar and I'm very happy with what I am seeing so far with all the qualities you've listed, just waiting on the first eggs to see what color I get. Sulmtalers lay a tint or very light cream egg.

cool sounding cross

They are an excellent homesteading cross, Fast growing, huge, hardy Free Rangers, and are excellent layers. I am getting 6 eggs a week from each hen. The eggs are from light blue to light olive.
