Cream Legbar Hybrid Thread

[familypendragon]

I finally have updated pictures from my CCLxEE projected roo and CCLxRIR projected females. The following presents the parents of the CCLxEE roo and grow out pictures of his development. The parents: The young cockerel: He definitely had a white spot on his head and feather-sexed male when he hatched on Sept 7.) Here he is at two weeks of age on September 22. Now at six weeks of age. Note the small crest, the pinking comb and the barring color pattern He is pictured here with two CCLxRIR pullets. The following CCLxRIR chicks had the same father. They hatched September 7. These pictures are from September 18. And here they are at 6 weeks. Note the barring of the wings and body and smooth breast pattern of a female legbar in red. One of the girls has a crest. Bad toes on the non-crested one. Tomorrow, I will post my latest CCL crosses.

Very pretty Poor thing with the bad toes - I've never seen that in a grown bird - looks painful. Were they like that at hatch or did that happen later?

The crested CCLxRIR had a bad toe at hatch and some spradling. I was able to get both corrected that first week. The uncrested CCLxRIR toes were OK at hatch but the bends developed later. I am going to try a corrective band aid on each toe to see if it has any therapeutic value, hoping for the best.

maybe not Da,
because autosexing implies that it goes on from generation to generation. Sex linked would imply that the same parents produce sexable chicks, but those chicks will not produce sexable chicks.

ChicKat,

As noted, in earlier posts on the cream legbar thread earlier, I violated the rules for making sex links. This was a barred roo over a non-barred hens. So these are not sex link progeny. The autosexing characteristics did appear to transmit to this first generation. It is yet to be seen whether this would breed true in subsequent generations.

well with only One copy of the autosexing Traits e+ and B, this will not be the case... as only 50% of the progeny will have the sex lined gene in the next cross

Uncle Uncle I give

LOL, I don't


autosexing means that it goes to future generations in my understanding.

nope..

Autosexing is just a way to phenotypically distinguish the two sexes at hatch...

both Females.... and as spected some of the e+/eWh chicks will come out looking more yellow than wildtype looking, this is to be expected, this is the nature of the wheaten e allle...

Nical:

You just shot that way over my head...if its too complicated thats ok, but where is wheaten play into this? Sorry I am a Zero on knowing chicken genetics.....I was curious, if girls will they lay blue/olive/brown eggs? And, thanks for responding!

the Buff Hen is based one Wheaten... the CCL rooster is based on e+(wildtype) Wheaten chicks are yellow, for example: Buff Orps, Buff Leghorns, wheaten Marans, Salmon Faverolles wildtype chicks have the Chipmunk Strips: for example: Red Jungle fowl(where the word Wildtype comes from), Black Breasted Red Old english games, Silver Ameraucana, Silver duckwing Leghorns, CCL... Wheaten cant be use for autosexing chicks(or its very very hard),.. cross of wheaten and wildtype based chicks will be as followed: some will look nearly wildtype(like a pure wildtype), faded wildtype, and solid yellow
