Cream Legbar Hybrid Thread

[HaplessRunner]

Hi,
I am working on reading this whole thread but 96 pages is taking awhile. I am planning on putting a mostly white splash (he has 1 colored feather) EE roo over CL hens. Does anyone have examples/ ideas what that will produce?
Thanks

Mine were all reverse of your plans. I used a CLB rooster over an EE hen. This is the pairing:




I have just hatched four more chicks from this pairing and I believe they may be pullets.

as I said previouly, the Silver Sussex female has ONLY one copy of the ER Birchen gene, the other gene appears to be Wheaten from Light Sussex

These are mine. But my EE roo has dominant white and came from a lavender am x RIW. Hes mostly all white with a few black feathers. Crossing him with my cl hen got me this one. They have all come out this way

Edited to add the right pic lol.

So my riw x cl for me it was really easy at about a month to tell boys from girls. At one day to a week old i seen diffrences but it was way to hard to be considered a sex link. The diffrences i noticed did hold true boy vs girl. This RIW x CL hen bred back to my CL roo has produced all white chicks and ones like this one. I wonder if breeding her back is getting the auto sexing locked in. The boys have always been all white. Girls always have this amber color. But they didnt have the clear head stripe last year

I need to do a better job at baskets in my hatcher to be certain who produces these.

I know there was talk of Greenfire crossing the Silver Sussex to Light Sussex and I believe you were also involved in that discussion. I am not really concerned with weather or not our Silver Sussex is pure or not, we have what we have and they are very nice birds to look at and are very good sized and excellent layers. Please excuse my lack of knowledge and experience and the fact that I call my Sussex Silvers. What I am concerned with is the chicks that I have produced being sex linked. I am sure that they are currently, so now I am wondering if I am interested in trying to work on The Silvers to make them true (if possible) or just leave things alone so I can use these birds to make olive egg Sex Links. Like I said before please excuse my inexperience, we are just getting started with chickens this last year and there is so much to learn (way more than I thought but very interesting and fun) Thank you for your replies you are a very valuable resource here.

Thanks, very cute. I'll post what I get from the cross.

It looks like my first 'easter legger' chick is a pullet! The father was a red leghorn, mother was a cream legbar. I'm guessing it will have a 'red quill' pattern as she matures. I'll get some pics soon.

I hatched a chick that looks very similar to this one. What were the parents?
