I crossed a cream legbar with a ----- and this is what I got

Pics
My chicks are a little over 2 weeks old and so far seem to be coming in barred they are black with brown barring. I only kept 2 out of my 7 unfortunately. I was planning on keeping them all until they were fully feathered so I would know the results of the coloring. I heard a rumor that my cross seems to create 2 different colors a more silver and black chipmunk with orange legs and beaks and also black and brown chipmunks with green tinged legs. I ended up keeping the 2 browner ones with tinged legs. Im wondering if the color has something to do with their sex? I sold the other 5 silverish chicks to a woman who buys hatching eggs and chicks from me, she asked if she could have them since a predator got most of her flock and she was trying to rebuild. She said she would send me pic updates though. I kind of wish I kept one of each now for comparison.

I would be very interested in knowing what colors they end up. I am raising 2 silverlaced polish pullets to breed to a legbar roo.
 
What do you think the result of a cream legbar roo over a partridge double laced dark cornish might be? Love the lacing and wouldn't mind seeing it. Can see feather color in post 435 on this page

To clarify I am talking about the middle hen's breast feather markings they are beautiful

Thank you, are you considering breeding back to get more with the partridge gene and double lacing?

If you were asking me I was just randomly posting pics of my chicks. Sorry for the confusion, they aren't partridge. Mine are a cross between Cream Legbar roo and a Silver Laced Cochin.

I am hoping they are both hens. They were feathering in faster than the other 5 chicks. The tails were in and the wings were long.
Here is what the other 5 looked like before I sold them


The 2 brownish ones in the back are the ones I kept since they seemed to be feathering in most like pullets the silver ones in the front are the ones I sold they had no tail feathers and short nubby wings. If I get a picture update soon of the silver ones from their new owner I will post them also.

Yeah I was asking you lol I thought they might be split for the partridge double lacing.
