Rock rooster with mutation? Maybe?

[Ian_knight]

I have some Cream Legbar /EE crosses with some similar coloration in them but it covers them. They were accidents so maybe your's is to.

Mine isn’t fully feathered yet so maybe it will grow more?

I don’t know,my dealer said that ideal could have made a mistake and I know they sel sex links but someone said they have the wrong leg color,could I get a female with the same trait and make more that have more of the gold and green?

Because the typical black sex link is created by using two yellow legged breed, the legs would be yellow.
The females of any sex linked hybrid aren't barred as well, they look completely different. And because they are a hybrid, aka a cross breed, they don't breed true. You'd just continue making a cross.

So I can’t re create it

Doubtful mine were colored like this from pretty early on. It was slight at first then got more in depth. But then again I'm terrible at understanding genetics so. Idk

You could... but you wouldn't be able to breed it true.
If you used a female cuckoo marans, and a buff orpington rooster; you'd probably get a cockerel that looks like this.

What’s a true breed?

I do think he might be a bsl, but whatever he is he's beautiful!!!!

That’s what everyone is saying,and thank you I am hoping he gets more of these feathers because 3 days ago he didn’t have ANY green or copper feathers maybe a big pretty rooster in a few months

What’s a true breed?

Breeding true... means... Say you take a black lab and another black lab and breed them... you know your going to get black lab puppies. They're a breed, and breeding them together always gets the same result. This is breeding true... true to the breed standard.

Now take a black lab and breed it to a poodle. You get a labradoodle... which is a first generation hybrid. If I take another labradoodle and breed it to the first, a whole myriad of possibilities happens. You could have some straight coated dogs, some could be curly, some could be a mix of that... So, a labradoodle doesn't breed true.

So same here, your sex link has a fun name, like a labradoodle, but it doesn't mean its a breed. Its a hybrid that won't breed an expected result each time. You can recreate it, but you won't always get the same result.

And again, the green sheen is just what happens on black feathers. My flock has some black hens and they sheen green as well. Not a male trait.

Could it be made true through a lot of breeding
