Cream Legbars or something else?

[Sahraschweiss]

I got some cream legbar hatching eggs off eBay. It's my first time with the breed and 2nd year with chickens. I got 12 eggs and ended up with 3 boys and 2 girls. I had a broody hatch them. So while the hatch rate wasn't great, she's been a good momma and all are super friendly.

Chicks are now 15 weeks. Three boys might be 2 too many for my flock. I'm hoping the forum could help me learn what to look for in Legbars.

Salt is a tall leggy skittish thing. Dash and Pepper are shorter and super friendly.

Your opinions are welcomed.

Thanks!

I believe that these are cream leg bars. Here is a picture from Google for reference. They look pretty similar to me

That is a lovely hen.

I was wondering if my boys were creams in coloring or golden or creole or poor representations in general.

What color eggs did they hatch from?

 

[Sahraschweiss]

Blue-ish

 

[Chikyboy]

Yep, they are def cream legbars

The eggs do not appear to have the zinc white gene which gives sky blue eggs. They appear to be slightly tinted with a tan or brown color over the matte blue color. Feather colors appear to be consistent with Cream Legbars.

I rate blue eggs according to:

1. blue color intensity - chickens with two copies of the Oocyanin gene give best intensity
2. blue color shade - sky blue requires the zinc white gene homozygous behind Oocyanin
3. Porphyrin tinting - brownish hues on the egg surface either give green or olive colors

Green eggs are allowed on the CCL SOP
