I just got 2 cream legbar. 1 hen and 1 male chick.

Congrats on your Legbars! Your hen looks nice! I hope your little cockerel turns out nice too.

Are they from the same source? If so do you know how closely they are related?

Yes same source. The owner said it might be the hens baby. He had a new batch of chicks and not sure for sure if it was but they are related some how

I have Ten Cream Legbar roosters from GFF and two from another farm. The GFF farm roosters all but two have floppy combs, one is good sized with a long back and less vertical tail set. The two from the other farm have legs that are mousy green/yellow and are rather broad. One of these two are classic legbar rooster color but the other one is very brown/red.(pretty but is that off type?.

Any help in selection would be good. I can post pictures if anyone can help me with the decision.

you will probably want to post some pictures if you would like people to weigh in.

Here is a link to the draft Standard of Perfection that the Cream Legbar Club is working on. It should describe he traits that are desirable in the breed.

Probably because it only refers to the idea that all general Disqualifications from the American Poultry Association (APA) apply - perhaps if you haven't got easy access to an APA SOP - they could be googled...dunno.

Among the general DQs are things like Wry Tail, Side Sprigs on the comb etc. KPenley from the CL Club also informs me that lack of Crests on a Crested breed is also a DQ. for Cream Legbars, white earlobes would be an example. Recently reading a book that says white earlobes can be reddened by injury or even sunburn BTW, since the skin there is thin. Thought it was in interesting viewpoint.

What about foppy comb? I have one with wry tail..he's nasty disposition and already on the process list
