I need to do another post in the breed forum, but just a warning that the genetics of these Legbars seem to be all over the place. In fact at this point I'm suspecting that there's an Ameraucana back there a bit more recent than the original birds that went to make up the breed. I've got one pullet without a crest, one "pullet" that turned out to be a 'roo, a couple of them have muffs, and one appears to have a beard. I'm not too bothered as I wasn't after exhibition birds or birds for breeding, I just wanted some good egglayers of pretty eggs.
My best bird does have nice coloring, a good crest and no muffs or beard. That said it's also possible that one of the gentleman's other roosters went "walkabout" because as I recall many of the pens weren't totally enclosed. Even while I was there he had to eject a "visiting" rooster from one of them. I did get the idea that this was an uncommen occurrance, but it is possible. Although I don't recall there being any Ameraucanas there. It's a mystery.
