Cream Legbar Hybrid Thread

[ShinShien]

Anybody crossed cream legbar with blue ameraucanas yet? I've got eggs I'm thinking of setting. Would 2 blue egg layers mean blue egg laying offspring?

BTW, what is the difference between a Sapphire and a SBEL?

I would think to get a cream lizzard, you would need to cross a CL with a sizzle. 

U are totally on your game tonight lol

If you cross a cream Legbar and a black Ameraucana, would you get a barred chick? I know one half of my chick is Ameraucana. One of the possibilities for the other half is Cream Legbar and I noticed today, it's feathers are coming in barred. If that was the combo, what color eggs would it lay?

Sbel is a double blue over a production white layer

*Should* lay blue... if black or blue Am roo over CLB hen, then sexlinked also... males will have headspots...
I have some chicks that are CLB roo over black Am's... need time to see on the eggs...

*Should* lay blue... if it was CLB roo over Am hen, then all chicks from that cross will be barred... if it is Am roo over CLB hen, then only the males will be barred...

Chickenpicken, do you know if you got any that are CL x Spitzhauben? I would like to know what that would look like.

Yes I hatched 6 of them. They all hatched black with white headspots, I believe it is a sexlink cross and females have the reddish brown faces, males had just black faces (no white bellies on any of them).

Oh, so they don't really look like either parent? Will they end up just being black chickens? But they should at least have one type of crest or the other, right?

They should grow up to look sort of a mix of the both, having both some degree of barring and spangles. Here is a pic of a male chick of this cross, this is a picture a customer sent me that hatched some of my eggs. I have yet to raise any of these up yet. Im not sure yet what the female version will look like.

Thank you for that photo. Hopefully your customer will send you a hen photo some day, or I guess eventually you will grow some out of your own. Very interesting to have part spangled and part barred. I wonder- the barring is sex-linked right? (I've been trying to pick up on the genetics discussions on this thread.) So it must make a difference which parent is the CL. And in the case of this roo, he had CL father and Spitz mom? And that would make him just single factor for the barring instead of double?

So then a sister of his would have more of a barring effect due to only one X chromosome, and no competing Non-bar gene? (I have not learned any Spitzhauben genetics yet, so I don't know where the spangle gene resides, or how it would come into play here.)

But it seems in your photo here that where there are bars, there are no spangles.

Edit: I forgot to add, really cool crest on him!
