Interested to see the Legbars as I'm expecting some off next week. The females look a bit like Welsummers don't they?

[Pumpkin Becki]

Is it my eyesight, or have they got feathered legs already?

[HayleyB]

Legbars are meant to be autosexing they are crossed something with an araucana to ensure sexing at birth I believe. I thought of breeding them so I could try to detach my self from the boys but if there is still doubt in the difference ummm.......

I went for sex linked too for the same thing to get rid of the cocks ....yet found i just couldnt kill a small chick without giving him some kinda life so now will be meat birds

[HayleyB]

That's what I meant but it would be easier to make them meat birds if you know from the start that's what they are. And the bonus with the laydees are.... blue eggs
