Cream Legbars

Thanks for the info. Sol2go!

This question is going to show my ignorance about chicken genetics but here goes... can anyone tell me if the "lacing" that is showing up in some pullets is the same kind of lacing that is seen in wyandottes and other laced birds like barnevelders?

One of my pullets is heavily laced and I was wondering if there is a possibility of working on a laced legbar.

Ok, so from what I've been reading on lacing it sounds like lacing is pattern + melonizers so probably missing the pattern genes in the cream legbars. I realize this is a really basic description so if anyone wants to correct me please feel free!

its not the same, the ones in wyandottes are Pg/Pg Ml/Ml Co/Co which istands for Pg(Dominant Pattern Gene) Ml(Dominant Melanotic) and Co(Dominant Columbian Restricted)

Possiblity of working on a laced legbar? yes very possible,

as I said before, Lacing is Pg/Pg Ml/Ml Co/Co, the Legbars you see with incomplete lacing is due to lack of Columbian restrictor, I willing to bet they have Melanotic and Pg, Pg on itself and melanotic will do that on the e+ background, on the eb background you would have the Pencilled pattern found on wyandottes, but since its e+ the effect is different

Oh my gosh chickin pickin! I love them! Thank you nicalandia. That is exactly the info I was looking for.

What are some good resources for finding out more about chicken genetics? I have been trying to search some areas on here but I am not finding any basic tutorials. I don't really understand what you are saying but I would like to learn more.

Thanks! I was excited to see my girls just posted lol. Those pics were taken last year. I rehomed them over the summer

since I needed to make room for others. They were super pretty chickens.

I think those with Dark creast are showing the effect of Melanotic, the darkest one will surely be homozygous for and het for the less melanized, also Melanotic will have the same effect shown on this Leghorn hen..

Henk69 on BYC has made a fantastic chicken calculator - and he also gives a really good overview of chicken genetics. IMO he is a genius. The more you know the more you can get out of the tools he has provided to the world.
