The Legbar Thread!

None of the breeds in there ancestry would have had to been feather legged. It is caused by a recessive gene and occurs quite often in most any breed if you hatch enough of them.

Thanks for the info- I had no idea. I just thought it was very strange! Glad to see it straighten out since Cream legbars are not normally feathered legged, lol.

Ryeranch - looking forward to those pics
I'm on a rooster hatching rampage! It's driving me crazy! I swear I get 3 roosters to a pullet.... 2 more yesterday and since I messed up that"ll probably be it for this week. Hopefully next weeks batch will be different. Gonna put the Chocolate Orps outside this weekend and I did luck out - looks like 1 boy n 3 girls. And sold off the lavender ameraucanas yesterday and switching to jubilee orps instead... hubby won't know what hit him Legbars n Marans n Orps. Sooooooo looking forward to this summer!
