The Legbar Thread!

[nicalandia]

Thanks for re-explaining.

Does this mean that a silver-looking plus gray barring is indicative of silver "Cream Legbar" and a silver-looking plus black barring is indicitive of a cream Cream Legbar? OR are they both Cream Legbar? So once again it comes back to the gray versus dark, dark gray or as I called it above black barring probably not REAlLY black just dark charcoal.

No. Silver looking Grey barring legbars are(or 95% of them should be) "Light" barred with cream diluted gold(s+/s+ ig/ig)

I have yet to see a Silver looking(clean silver) with black barring legbar, a cream diluted legbar with dark barring will have lemon colored hackles just like the Green Fire Farm male Stock

this is the Dark Barred CCL Male GFF has, I believe they carry the dark barring gene found on productive white leghorns






now the Light Barred CCL , take a look at the dilution effect of this light barring gene has on gold and black feathers





now compared to a clean Silver Crele Leghorn, they need to have the Crele Pattern well define(dark barring breast and silver barred hackles and saddles). had this boy been diluted gold he would show lemon colored hackles and not silver





I hope this helps

5 Points if you can guess where those eggs are from



and 10 points if you can guess who's line they are


and a whopping 20 points if you can guess who else I asked for egg

cant wait to see the results of the hatch

although im already doubtful on 1 egg I candled it just to check for cracks and its seems to have something floating inside it

the eggs look Fresh only 2 days old by aircell size so don't think its a dead chick embryo

i'd think that its a bit of ovarian lining that's been shedded into the egg

My guesses:
1) Blue Eggs
2) English Sue's Line

via the esteemed Mrs. De Gray
3) Jill

I was speaking to Emily and she said that jill could send me some eggs so that Sue's birds and Jills birds in my coop can be paired up and stay unrelated

Thanks! So...just to completely close the loop of the theory....the presumed difference now between the two Cream Legbars genetically is the barring genes - meaning the dark-barring and the light-barring - and in Barred Plymouth Rocks as you showed earlier -- there is a light nearly white roo and a dark - (like female BPR coloration) slate-colored roo and both are BPRs and their differentiation is the barring gene.

Nice move! I know some people in the U.S. that would think they had rolled over and gone to heaven to have that type of start to their Cream Legbar flock. You are very lucky. We can't wait to see all of your posts.

I have one of those brains that holds onto all kinds of random info and reassembles it when it's needed lol. Makes research kind of fun.

Best wishes for a great hatch Silverfox on your beautiful eggs!
