Crested Cream Legbars and White Legbars

[sunnie7]

@GaryDean26 My hatching eggs came from Foxfire Farms, could you weigh in on your thoughts?!

The two yellowish legbars you have are the regular coloring for male legbars.

The yellow one below is now a regular colored rooster. These are from Foxfire as well

Do you have any pictures of your Legbars from Foxfire and or eggs from them now?

Here are a few photos. Have 3 hens and currently one rooster of the legbars. Have hatched a lot of cockerels unfortunately. At least 8 have been sold.

Looks like you have 4 pullets not sure what the one between the black one is, it looks mostly female but could be male.

Legbars are supposed to be easily identifiable. That male is very light.

To me those look like White Legbars.. But if they are CL they have poor hatch down. They shouldn’t be that light. Males are grey and light brown with a white dot on their head, and females have chipmunk markings with no dot on their head.

They come from the Rees line and the breeder I got them from claims they are “sport” Legbars. She said she’s been having several pop up in her hatches recently.

Why do you say those are not them??

What color are their feathers that are growing in?

Definitely could be poor colored hatch down. With Foxfires CCLs though, all of mine hatched out yellow. 8 cockerels so far. All have varied in color once fully feathered or matured, but all started from yellow chicks.

Here they are today....so I’m guessing it’s more poor coloring?

Normal (possibly poor down) CCL cockerels. They will be handsome once grown
