Yes that's exactly what he looks like. I went and looked at pictures of the Bielefelder and it is almost a match.

I love my Bielefelders....... they are so sweet. You can see one in the background..... photobombing the CL pic.

I may be incorrect in how I read that note from GFF, but I'm under the impression that 12 birds total have founded everything they've brought and raised here. I may be wrong as the loss and explanation wasn't exactly the easiest to me. You are correct on the Rees line. 2 roosters and 2 hens to found that line.

So four of the twelve are GFF..... 25% of the gene pool in US? Weren't there 3 other lines?

The 12 represents all GFF import lines, 4 are Rees, the other 8 are from previous imported lines...

Yes.... that is what I meant by 25% of the gene pool will be Rees. Sorry that is wrong it would mean 33% is Rees.

I was just reading the history of CL in the US on the CL Club page. According to it there were only 4 Rees line birds imported. Line "C" is from a trio. That is a little confusing it says they selected 4 males & 2 females but only a trio arrived. There is also another interesting page called "Cream Legbars : A Greenfire Case Study." Thought some might find it interesting.

I read the History of CL in the US.

In September 2010 the first shipment arrived. There were two groups, 1 rooster and 4 hens from one flock and a trio from another flock. After a bout of Mareks there was a trio left from the original 5 and one rooster from the trio. The trio (three remaining from the original 5) became the A line and the female offspring of line A were bred to the unrelated surviving rooster (from the trio) and became the B line.

In October 2011 a trio arrived. They became the C line.

In September 2013 they imported two pairs of Jill Rees CLs.

It was interesting and it certainly doesn't sound like an easy process importing birds.

That would indicated 11 unique imported birds in total in the gene pool, to break it down into an easier to read format...

3 import birds (1 roo, 2 hens) used to create the A line
1 import bird (1 roo) used to create the B line using A line offspring hens ***
3 import birds (1 roo, 2 hens) used to create the C line
4 import birds (2 roos, 2 hens) used to create the Rees line

***What is unclear is how many A line offspring hens were mated to the unique B line roo to create the B line...

If I remember correctly wasn't it between the B & C line the Gold started showing up? I actually like the picture of the B line rooster.
