Cream Legbar Hybrid Thread

[rottlady]

There was a lady on here who had cream Legbar roo over Barnevelder hen chicks
They were not sexabke at hatch if I remember ( i.e. not sex link)
Can you post a picture of them grown?

Does anyone have a picture of a Cross between a CCL Roo over a Splash Marans?    I'm interested in a picture of a cross hen if possible.  My guess they would have the markings of a Legbar but blue undertones?

Thanks,
Deborah

They would be blue barred. May have a little leakage when they mature.
Pure CCL rooster would have two barring genes so all offspring would get one and be barred.
Splash marans hen has two blue genes so all offspring would get one and be blue. She is also extended black which is dominate so all offspring would be solid colored. They could get a little leakage in the hackles from the rooster but hens dont seem to get leakage to the degree a cockerel would and most dont leak until they get their adult plumage.

Oops, I forgot about the barring, which my pullet had.

Hoping this little cutie is a pullet. 4 weeks old & still no huge comb! SHE is CL x ISA Brown, so I think eggs should be pretty olive or at least an interesting green!

I think I see salmon coloring coming in on her breast, so that would be a sign of a pullet.
She appears to be dominant white, but neither of those parent breeds would have had that. Does anybody know if recessive white would allow the salmon leakage to show through?

Legbars do come white

Yes, they come recessive white. So that needs to come from both parents in order to show up in a baby. So if there is a possibility that the ISA brown can carry recessive white, and therefore the chick is recessive white, my question is, does recessive white prevent salmon from showing through? I always thought recessive white made the bird completely white. At least, the photos of white Legbars I have seen didn't show salmon on the breast. Maybe I haven't seen enough photos of white Legbars.

This is supposed to be a pullet.
CCLxWelsummer (I think in that order)
About 3 weeks old here
I'm looking forward to the Olive eggs enough to name her Olive

And this is a CCL x production red (foreground) and pure CCL (background)

Not sure yet on gender
This was at about 2.5 weeks
If female, she should lay true green eggs according to breeder

And I have three CCLxWL (sapphires) that are also straight run. They are the two predominantly white chicks in this pic.
Any idea when gender will be obvious?

My Sapphires were easily sexed at 4 weeks old based on the size of the comb. Cockerels had a visibly larger comb than the pullets. Mine are now 6 weeks old and are super easy to tell the one cockerel that I have left from all the pullets.
