So if I breed my Marans roo to a Legbar hen, I will get a "MARBAR"

A SEX-LINKED Marbar! LOL

A sex-linked, supposedly OLIVE EGG laying MARBAR! (This is one of my planned projects once my girls start laying.)

Yep! Once I have a batch of CREAM girls (growing now....

) my 3 gold girls will be moving the my BCM pen to do exactly that!

One day we'll have to get a pic of all these "bar" babies! Two week to go until I know if I have any Barkies (my nickname for Legbarkies)! Lucy is still sitting, although I've gotten worried that she's looking so pale and not going for the treats I'm giving her.

Hi all:

I am just getting into the Crested Cream Legbar (and chooks in general) and am looking for a couple of pullets to go with my young roo....the only hatchery near me only had two and was keeping them for breeding stock. I am located in SE PA, Also, I know nothing about the breed standards so please feel free to critique my lad.....TIA!

my other chooks are 2BOs, 2GLWs,2SG dorks, and 2 baby BCMs

stake he looks really good so far!!! His legs could be a little more yellow- they look greenish but that may be from the lighting.

You can read the proposed standard on post 1287 in the SOP thread: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/713115/cream-legbar-working-group-standard-of-perfection/1280

Looks like a beautiful boy so far stake! Does he have a little crest? I can't wait to see how he fills out!
I just checked the membership/breeder page for the Cream Legbar Club and didn't see any full listings for PA breeders, but there are a few in NY and VA if you want to check with them for pullets. There are also lots of breeders who ship eggs and birds. So you may want to check with those who list their websites with pics. Best Wishes!
