Cream Legbar Hybrid Thread

[ochochicas]

So curious about the white sapphires. You breed a cream crested legbar with a leghorn and get blue egg layers. What happens after that first generation?

Legbar x Leghorn = blue egg layer that has one blue egg gene and one white one. (O/o+)

If you breed two of those together, your odds would be 75% blue egg layers and 25 % white egg layer.
Your genetics would be:
25% O/O
50% O/o+
25% o+/o+

Oh my, that's quite the equation lol! I only have one so I would love to see the others you had hatched for comparison

I have only one left with me. Others are with friends who have promised pics over this weekend. Here are the 2 pics of mine:

I had previously posted this picture of my hybrid egg green/light Olive egg but since it was with artificial light, I am posting it again right next to Auction Color Chart. Can someone help me determine what color it closely matches on the chart.



Artificial light image above.

Here are the images in natural light (but shade)

Hi Junibutt,

I think that you have placed the egg near the close colors. Frustratingly we seldom have perfect matches--- but you can say 'almost OAC828' or even 'a bit lighter than OAC833' and then I get a better idea looking at my chart - than if you say 'olive egg'.
:O)

@Junibutt very cool looking egg. What cross is that from? Also what laid the pink egg on the far left?

They look very similar!

@JunibuttThis Australorp X is bigger than the other and is pretty bold... I'm thinking its a male.

The egg is from a cross between CL Rooster x ISA Brown hen. Here is what she looks like. I kind of think she has an ISA Brown front and a Legbar back.
She started on April 5th and has not taken any breaks. I have my fingers crossed if she follows her mom's footsteps. Here mom laid 361 eggs in her first year.



The pinkish egg (its actually kind of the same tone that my Rhode-Island used to lay) to the far left is from a hatchery Light Brahmas. Here sister (if it is) lays a little darker shade of brown like the one on far right.

I would say definitely a boy based on his comb and I can see a definite big white splotch on his head as well. Something I will check for in my other Australorp hybrids.
Can you post a pic of the other Australorp X?

Yes exactly!
