jok 3,042 Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 Is it or not a Cream Legbar? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jok 3,042 Posted March 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 He is, by the way, less than 12 months. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chicken_man 1,651 Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 He's proud jok. Looks good Atb Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tuzo 251 Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 I'm afraid he's no Legbar.....by the very name we know they carry the barring gene from the Plymouth Barred Rock - which isn't evident here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
devon flighter 421 Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 tuzo when you say the barring gene is that just in the cape ? can you get banty clb? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tuzo 251 Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 No generally they barred all over - on some the barring is more pronounced than others. I'm not aware of any bantams as such but I guess some thing could be created with banty leghorns and barred rocks. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
devon flighter 421 Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tuzo 251 Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 Obviously you'd need the aracauna blood if you wanted the coloured eggs. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jok 3,042 Posted March 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 Thanks gents. Then as a general question, what do we have here. The guy I had him from is a bit of a traditionalist so doubt he'd be douped. Very handsome cockerel of some pedigree I think. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jok 3,042 Posted March 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 Tuzo. Who throws green eggs? I don't mean blue but green. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jok 3,042 Posted March 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 Tuzla. He has the most beautiful blue hen running with him. I'm intrigued. Any help Please? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tuzo 251 Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 Could be anything Jok....when you get even a 1st cross it can throw multiple colours and types. In the making of Legbars some araucana blood was added to give a different coloured egg.....obviously the leghorn and rock to secure the autosexing ability. The cockerel you have could be a leghorn cross - you do get lavender leghorn but without the red, also he has sizeable wattles and yellow legs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tuzo 251 Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 Also Araucana come in Lavender so maybe someone has been trying to create their own Legbars and this is out of them ? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jok 3,042 Posted March 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 Now that makes sense. I' not fussed as such just wondered. Thank you all for the response. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
