Holy cow, those birds are beautiful! I really like that first rooster!

Are they lemon blue? Some kind of crele?

They are beautiful for sure. These were the breeders pics and believe me the pics don't do justice of how nice they really are.

Like some kind of crele.
They're gold duckwing with barring and lavender.

Oh wow! Really pretty! Their coloring looks a lot like Opal Legbars, is it a similar color project?

Winner Winner.
There were two breeders working on them at the same time.
One breeder coined the name "opal legbars" for hers.
The other breeder decided to lose the crests but otherwise they're the same thing.
The breeder these came from didn't worry about a pretty name so I will continue not calling them "opal legbars".

Bonus round.....
Who's the breeder of my birds?

Well, I know who isn't the breeder lol. I got some hatching eggs from Candace. They were from a Split x Split pen.

Well summers over and winter is coming soon. Been below freezing overnight a few times already.
Been busy making winter breeding plans. Switching some things up and looking to the future.
Speaking of that I got some new birds to show and they're not even leghorns. Ok so not technically but they do have leghorn blood in them.
Recieved these from a breeder a few days ago. A rooster, a hen, a cockerel and a pullet. They're a project that were.....
Never mind for now....
Less talk, more pics....

I have 4, 4 week old chicks. 1 Opal, 2 splits, 1 Cream. I'm still waiting to see if the sexing I did was accurate. I wish I had remembered to take pictures.

Should of been pretty obvious but I don't follow Candace's line so don't know how hers are turning out.
Take pics. Should be able to tell at 4 weeks also.
