...that's a boy with one potential bouffant. Too early to tell much so enjoy him.

You did definitely get 2 boys. The other angle of the chicken in the first pic did look pullet-ish. But you do have 2 boys.

So adorable... I think that this picture is fantastic... he looks so darn grouchy as a baby rooster should, of course. Perturbed but sweet. I like the Mowhawk look of his crest too. Please be sure to keep posting pictures as he grows~

Figured I'd share this pic, from left to right is a muscovy egg, a rose combed legbar egg, and a faverolle egg.

So, I'm picking up a couple little pullet chicks (so excited!!) in a couple weeks and considering getting a Roo-( the neighbors are bought off with the free egg prospect) the breed is amazing and I'd love to perpetuate it, but how are the temperaments of these roosters? I had an Ameraucana 'roo who was a jerk and don't care to repeat it. Plus, he crowed continuously all day nonstop worse than anything I'd heard(probably linked to the aggression thing). Pretty mean to his girls too. Obviously it depends on the original bird, but you can get a good idea of average behavior.
Thoughts?
How are your cream legbar roosters?
:/

Temperament has a lot to do with individual personality and line tendencies, more so than the breed. My current Ameraucana roosters are perfect gentlemen. I did have one that attacked me from behind once. He went to auction LOL.

That being said, my Cream Legbar rooster is great, I don't have any aggression problems and he is nice to the ladies. If course has has about 11 or so, so he has plenty to share the lovin'! He does crow quite a bit but I have probably 15 roosters of various breeds so the back and forth crowing is to be expected.
