So I'm thinking about future breeding plans... I have two gold hackled girls that will eventually be coming out of the CL flock, I plan to move them to the BCM flock to make OEs. What do you call a mix like this? Technically it would be an easter egger, right, because it has the blue-egg gene? But without the typical EE characteristics that come from an Ameraucana background (muff, beard). I believe in the UK a CL mix is called a Cotswold Legbar. Anyone have a standard name they use for their crosses?

In England, if it looks like a Cream Legbar, Is autosexing, but lays a variety of egg colors it is an Old Cotswald Legbar. I think it's safe to call mixes Easter Eggers here.

Or you could go with 1muttsfan and call them Muttbars!

What's everybody doing with their non crested Cream Legbars? One of my babies is perfectly cream in the hackles, but at 7 weeks has no sign of a crest while her sister has a toupe lol. I'll give her some more time to grow, but I was just curious as to what everyone else was doing.

If she is really good in all the other aspects...since the Crest is dominant, you may want to get some babies from her and see what happens.

LOL Muttbars, sheesh -- the newest breakfast bar or candy bar.

I think about Cream Legbar Easter Eggers, and I think that the barring and crests would be pretty---but I sure like the non-comb pea combs on EEs and those would certainly be gone....but I think either EE or we invent a name -- "New Cotswold Easter Legger Bars Mutts"

I'll take her I need a hen to star non crested is fine
