There is a very pretty cream legbar cockerel for sale on Craigslist here in San Diego .... you're tempting me to buy him like I NEED another too LOL

Melabella dreams of Cream Legbars!

Cream legbars are medium-sized fowl that are known for their active foraging and ability to survive in a free-range environment. The roosters are vigilant and protective of the hens, and the hens efficiently go about the business of gleaning every seed and insect from the fields and pastures they prefer. The hens are rarely broody and produce a large number of eggs. This breed has the social skills to accommodate the complexities of life in a large flock. They are usually more calm than their distant ancestor the leghorn and are well-suited for the small homestead and life outdoors.

BYC is proud to have members who are licensed APA judges as well as recognized breeders of standard bred fowl and have been to Champion's row with their birds, many, many times.  There is a growing number of folks who are serious about learning more, at an advanced level, about standard bred poultry and the Standard of Perfection for their favorite birds. This thread is NOT AN ON-LINE SHOW. Photos are very limiting and faculty and students alike recognize the reality of this shortcoming.   Please bear this in mind at all time.  The purpose of this thread is not about competition as it is about advanced education.  Again, education is the goal.
