I know this is a crappy picture, but this is a one year old cockerel that is a cross between a Cream Legbar rooster over a brown leghorn hen. I don't like his comb at all, but I think his coloring is beautiful.

Photo still shows a lot -- looks very similar to how Jerryse's will grow out - wouldn't you say?

I don't know, my cockerel was showing a lot more of the barred affect when he was younger. He was never that "red".

Although I think his rooster is also very attractive!

I see what you mean. I think that in CLs (assuming that the traits underdiscussion are from CLs)--- have a pretty wide variety in the way that they express their barring genes....but yes, yours does show more distinct barring - especially in the tail. good insight.

I am VERY interested in helping to develope this variety of Legbars. I am very disappointed in the washed out colors of the Cream Legbars that the SOP calls for. I also think there is room for the white sport.

Anyone from PA interested in these varieties?

I agree enola. I think all the Cream Legbars are pretty, but really like the crele variety. They are my favorite.

I had three Cream Legbar hens that I wanted to find a crele rooster for. But, I am moving to PA and had to give my chickens up.

So sad! Will you be able to get more chickens once you move to PA?

I'm starting work on a white sport line right now, probably take a year or so before I can really offer anything up for sale though as I have to breed the white gene true from some split to white birds...
