I got the same thing. Meaning I got these same eggs off of Ebay and only had one hatch, the chick had the distinct coloring of a female exept that the down was quite red.Then as the chick grew it became evident that it was a male and he now looks just like your rooster, he just has more red and the coloring on his neck is red barred like the red on this one's wings. He also has a gigantic spiky looking crest that is super cool. It must be at least 2 inches & stands straight up like spikes. I am not going to use him in the Legbar pen because he looks so different than my other Legbars and he was not sexable at hatch. I posted pics of him earlier in the thread a month or so back and was going to post recent pics but my camera has problems. He is already mating with the EE hens. He actually looks somewhat like the Rhodebar pics I have seen of the roos, mosly red barred, but he was sold as a Legbar egg, & the egg was blue. Or maybe it was green tinted, I do not remember. Do you remember if the eggs were more green than blue?
Speaking of egg color my only Legbar hen to lay so far layed a blue egg the first day and then a green one ever since. Very disappointing after waiting for months, then to top it off I wanted to incubate them to have some back up hens & not a one is fertile. My Legbar roo is in a pen with 6 hens, & other eggs from this pen are fertile- every one has developed- but not a single Legbar egg has been fertile. Taken aback I observed for awhile & the rooster doesn't go near this hen, she actually attacks him! So needless to say my Legbar endeavors have been disappointing lately. Guess I'll have to wait to hatch my own baby Legbars.
