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

[junebuggena]

3 out of 4 of the chicks I hatched a couple of weeks ago have a cream dot on their heads, which, in a pure cream Legbar at least, would indicate that they are cockerels. Could that sexlinked trait have carried over to these chicks? These are from a cream Legbar roo over a brown leghorn and ameraucana hen.

Also, I have some brown eggs from a cream Legbar roo over a New Hampshire Red hen in the incubator right now with some pure CL eggs. They should turn out to be olive eggers, right? Anyone have pics of this cross?

It is no indication of gender in your chicks. The autosexing only works for purebred stock, and only if it is carefully maintained. The New Hampshire crosses should lay green eggs. It is not likely that they would be dark enough to pass as olive.

Some of my buff orp and cream legbar crosses look like crested buff orpingtons you can see some darker feathers in the tail and wings but it's not a ton. If I were to cross one of these back to my buff orps would the crest stay?

If you have an Ameraucana/Cream Legbar cross, could you please post a picture of it as an adult? I am wanting to cross the two but would like to see what they look like before I commit to the project...

Anyone cross a legbar with isbar? What does egg color do? What do they look like?

I would like to know how well this sex-link cross would work------Ameraucana rooster over Cream legbar hen. I believe this should Produce a black sexlink because of the barring gene in the CCL. do you guys have any pictures of this cross as chicks and then after they have matured?

Depends on what variety the Ameraucana is.

I have a reverse of that cross CCL rooster over black Ameraucans hen and the chick is black at hatch with a white spot or stripe and bared at full grown . I'll try and post pictures tomorrow .

Which variety of Ameraucana would work?

You would need either Black, Blue, or Brown Red to be able to clearly see a head spot at hatching. If sexing right off isn't as important, then any variety, even an Easter Egger, would work.

So I could use any kind, it just wouldn't be as easy to determine the sex at hatch, right? How long after hatch should I be able to tell?
