Cream Legbar Hybrid Thread

[Junibutt]

With barring you normally will not get black legs. There is a super tiny chance at getting any barred bird with black/slate legs. Based on the glimpse of leg color I can see there, he looks to have white legs with shading. If that is the case, he is from the australorp male bred to a legbar female

Thats what I thought! TY

I'll try to make this a little clearer with some new pics of the birds in question. A black pullet with a crest that I posted earlier I believed came from a black australorp cross with a cream legbar hen, I came to that conclusion based on her black legs like the australorps. Flying monkey poop suggested that the black legs were not necessarily a sure thing that he explained in his post and I understand his point. (thanks ) So by my original thinking because this cockerel and pullet have yellow legs I discounted them as australorp crosses but rather barred rock by cream legbar Based solely on leg color. So here are new pictures of the two in question. I would still believe that these two are barred rock by legbar, but welcome any other suggestions.

cockerel. ..

pullet
I think the cockerel in the top pic is going to be stunning when he finishes feathering, he has streaks of gold in his hackles and throughout his back.

I hatched out a dozen CL X SLW chicks about a month ago and have 7 males from that hatch. My question is a basic egg color inheritance question. If these males are mated to brown egg laying hens what are the egg color options? The blue egg shell color is dominant, correct? Will all of the resulting offspring lay green eggs?

Couple of pics of the males:

What color are the legs on notch? He looks a lot like my little roo that I thought was a Barred Rock cross with legbar. I may have to change my mind. lol
