Cream Legbar Hybrid Thread

yes, it would be a simple sex linked barring sex linked cross.. Red Dorking male x CC Female will produce none barred females and single barred maels.. the males will display a small headspot on their wildtype chick down, would look kind of cool as Red Dorkings are Red enhanced,

So I am starting to plan out who I am separating for spring eggs. I have a Creme Lebar female that I was thinking about throwing into my Red Dorking pen just to see what would happen with the chicks. would they be sexlinked at all?

As I understand it, and someone can correct me, if you use a unbarred rooster over a barred hen (cream legbar) then you should get sex links. Here is a great link on creating sex links and even better, understandable discussion.

And the only diffrence is one of the possible fathers is recessive white????

Wouldnt both the possible fathers carry recessive white. After all the regular cl male produced the white sport

I think it does... but just in case.. the chick its a Male with one copy of Silver and one copy of gold, but for now it will look Silver but when adult it will look Golden(yellow/Lemon color on the hackle and saddle)

well I didnt know that the normal looking CL was the father, but in any case as you can see one copy of recessive white does not alter any chick down or adult color

Well i thought the father was the sport. Thats what she asked was if we thought he was the father

in any case heterozygous recessive white does not change the chick down, thats why alot of poeple get surpice when they hatch a few whites because there was not indication on the parents chick or adult coloration

Does this really answer her question or does she have to be a genetic wiz to understand.
Quote: Steen any idea what I should watch for so I will know for sure if it IS in fact a Smart Eagle decendent and NOT a CCL hens? is there an EE gene that always will come out perhaps, and you are correct I havent a clue what was said. I will check back with ya after I hatch all these other pure eggs.... Sounds like on all the threads there is not much known about the CCL sport yet alone crosses.... So we will play it by ear.... I will watch the comb, legs and all that and take a pic at a week old and then every week thereafter... I will post update on the next hatch. thanks so much for your time!

I am not Steen but I am sure he wont mind me jumping in... First, No CL female has ever looked like that, so I can tell you 100% that thats not a CL female. anybody that has ever hatch CL either from GFF or from the UK have ever hatch a chick like that... second whats to know about the white CL "Sport"? everything about recessive white has been documented and its a well known and documented gene...., any crosses made with this so called sports have produce normal looking cream legbars(if crossed to normal looking legbars) but WHY? its simple the recessive white gene needs to have two copies for it to show, with only one copy any cross made to CL or other breed will produce normal colored chicks and adults... Edit the recessive white cream legbars are not some mystery unknown magic breed of chickens, infact they just started to pop out of normal looking cream legbars, what does this tell you? that there is no difference between normal looking cream legbars and cream legbars carrying only one copy of the recessive white gene, so no, you will not be able to tell them apart at chics, and recessive white legbars can be sexed at hatch, they are still autosexable..
