Cream Legbars

[KendyF]

I actually find them quite curious and nosy. Much better than my psycho Ameraucanas!

Maybe mine are just still settling in. I have an Ameraucana who definitely has a unique personality. I had to giggle at that.

X2 one of my cockerels rubs against my leg like a dog...Wouldn't be so bad if I didn't keep tripping over him!

The boys were a little skittish but the girl is a love she comes up to you will perch on you doesnt care to be held but will perch and sit with you and wants to know what you are doing all the time.

So it's come down time to narrow things down. I hope these pics are good enough.
I have 13 boys. They all have chestnut coloring. Some more than others.
One pic is a group shot to try to show that.
The other pic is one boy with less chestnut and also a boy with more vivid barring.
Which is preferred? These are two that I consider the best traits. Would like to know more.
Also some have nice crests. Do I sacrifice this for the less chestnut coloring?
With the crests, some have combs that bunch up a little , I wouldn't say floppy.
Is this ok?
I have a hard time deciphering the standard
Thanks in advance.

I have 13 boys and they are about same age as your. They are not old enough to pick the best one. I put zip tie on the biggest, decent comb/crest, and tail. I will slowly eliminate some small one next month.

I have recently added cream legbars to my flock.  They have all come to me from different farms ranging in age from 3 months, to 1 year.  I find these birds to be especially shy, both of me and my other chickens.  I am wondering if this is their "nature".

Thank you,
Kendy

Apparently i don't know how to post stuff on my phone! But wanted to add that my girls are all very friendly and curious. I actually love their personalities. My cockerel isn't as friendly but not aggressive at this point either.
