Oh for sure for sure I'm very happy with the color of the female and like I said the pictures don't do justice of the barring the barring is very nice getting a lot of compliments from the neighbors...Now I have to sleep with one eye open...
Love the ideas and pictures youse guys. Fabulous.

so interesting and valuable for everyone to keep an eye on. I also wonder -- if the 'soft feathering' from the Legbars, can make the feathers look a bit messy compared with any 'hard feathered bird' -- Are Leghorns hard feathered? -- and thus the Legbar lines look a bit untidy or messy at times, but -- it is not actual damage or raggedy feathers. JMO This is the one of the big value-added to this thread too IMO because it gives us things to look for and compare.

AWESOME!!!
What a nice pair. This is the first pict I've seen of your female as a adult. I'm SO SO SO SO impressed with the color on her breast feathers -- because it is a quite rosy hue. My gang is still throwing feathers everywhere -- I was noticing this morning that they are showing pale pink -- but paler than yours. Mine are ending their molt though -- and my roo has sickles now again....so there is that.
