I am looking for show quality cream legbars that conform to the breed standard and lay consistently blue eggs. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks very much. |

don't think you will have much luck here, as this is Australian site. |

Yes, I understand it's an Australian site. If you know of anyone in Australia with nice cream legbar stock, I'd be interested in hearing about it. |

i have read (not sure how true it is) that we do not have the right gene in oz to make that colour. |

Aren't Legbars a sex linked crossbred? Can you have a show quality crossbred? Would they be judged in a show? |

I believe that they're an autosexing breed, not a sex-linked cross breed. An autosexing bird breeds true generation to generation. |

Yes cream legbars are one of the few autosexing breeds they were created by a three way cross of Brown Leghorns, Barred Rock & Araucana |

Thanks. For what it's worth I've seen references on the web to Australian breeders who have cream legbar and golden legbar. But, I have been unsuccessful so far in being able to contact a cream legbar breeder. |

Cream Legbars need the Cream (Inhibitor of Gold ) gene. The presence of this gene has not been established to exist in Australia. David |
