Frost White Legbar Project

White to white will produce all white.

Sweet! Exactly what I wanted to hear

Hello! I am coming in to ask a couple questions. Last spring I purchased 4 white legbars from TSC. At the time I had no idea they were rare or what they were except yay to more blue eggs!!
I did a quick search to see if you can sex them. I did see the strip and picked the best I could. I actually did well and picked all girls. Although I was hoping for one male so I could breed.
A couple months later, I noticed my cream legbars were producing white chicks. Only 1-2 per hatch of a couple dozen. I did some research and was told one of my hens and my roo had the gene.
Now I have a rooster from them with my 4 girls from TSC. I’m going to breed them this year but was wondering if they will breed true white or if I’ll have bleed through or possibly regular cream legbar chicks from them.
Has anyone tried or have an idea? I’ll know if a couple months but just wanted to ask.

They should be white if you have true good quality white birds.

Are you asking if your crested cream boy will produce whites with your white girls?

No. Unfortunately he passed in Sept.
His son is the one who’s all white and came from two crested cream legbars. I’ll be breeding him with the frost girls from TSC.
Here’s a pic of him and his late father.

There is a chance of getting leaky whites. You should definitely keep us updated!

Do you know if it will show at hatch or later on?

What a cool breeding project! I've never heard of this color variety before but I'll be sure to follow along!

There is a chance of showing at hatch, but it will likely show once they start feathering out. If it is bad leaking, it has more of a chance of showing.

Okay. I’ll keep you all updated. I hope to have them going into the incubator in the next week or so. Waiting for them to increase laying.
