Crossing Brown Leghorn hen to Cream Crested Legbar Roo

[McChooky]

I mated a Legbar rooster to a Brown Leghorn hen for a Crele Leghorn project. The first generation are all single barred, both male and female with one copy of the crest gene. No sex links are created when crossed this way. The F1 crosses also have one white egg gene and one blue egg gene, meaning the pullets will lay a pale blue egg. This is an F1 cockerel. The pullets look like Legbars but are leaner and longer legged like a Leghorn. I will try to get a pic of an F1 pullet this evening. Sex links are created when mating a barred female to a non-barred male. That creates single barred males and non-barred females. Hope this helps.

Not yet, since he is young. That is a recent photo of him. I will update back with pictures of him as he matures. Yw!

Interesting! He's going to be a handsome rooster when he's grown!
