The Legbar Thread!

Quote: Thank you! He rocks!

I have raised a ton of hens and roos, and decided and chose two of madams roosters to breed with the hens that I have chosen and sold off all the other boys.

Here is my young Roo hatched from madamwlf I have sold all the hens as I have hens from other breeders, but am keeping the two roos from the madam, that white gene is most amazing!! I LOVE THEM BOTH! Thank you MADAMWLF!!! So glad I won that new years hatchalong contest!!

My word, that is one handsome rooster!!

Aloha kākou,

Personally, I feel that everyone is going for rooster coloring that is too white. White is not cream. Cream is a yellowish white, not white white. While looking at the cream legbar club site, pictures section, Diane McDonaldʻs roo on slide #9 is what I consider cream. Donʻt you folks want some color on your birds? Even the saddle or wing triangle stuffs should have color. Like brown even.

just my 2 cents.

I agree that rooster is really pretty! IMO also one of the very few cream I have seen...so FamilyPenDragon, that one -- and one that TheTropix has are cream. Fortunately there are some others that are part cream -- so perhaps in future generations we can get there....

Perhaps, now that the UK judge weighed in to tell us that Cream = the color of light butter, we can make sure that the earlobe (enamel white in the DRAFT SOP in the USA) doesn't match the cockerels hackle feathers-- because that would make them enamel white and thus not cream. Don't you wish that information was floating around about a year ago?

Good eye Puhi!!

Agreed!! That rooster really looks to have the type and the tail angle and...the 'right stuff'. Nice yellow on beak and legs/feet too. Love the way the rooster contrasts light picture with Dark background...and yet the whites aren't blown out - which sometimes happens in photography. Fabulous bird.

you know I love that rooster the best when the sun hits him from the back, he doesn't have a name yet, because I just cant find the right one yet! Thank you again madamwlf! I love the roos I kept!
And the other being of typical type is also gorgeous! I had to share with you before I forget to! The eggs were amazing when they came, you rocked that shipping and made for a most excellent hatch! Thanks tons and tons!

It's silly, but he hits me as something like a "Lancelot"

We have chickies!!! I had one of my bantam orp hens go broody.....again so I gave her some CLB eggs. If I remember correctly all these eggs came from one hen since the other was broody. They finally hatched today: 2 pullets and 3 roos. And the roos are very light in color. I also believe one of the hens is too. So excited!

Congrats on your hatch. I hope they do well--have you hatched this late in the season before? Any concerns about winter weather and babies? Oh, and we need pictures!
