Creme Legbar Roo

[konachicks]

Aloha all
I have a creme legbar Roo and just wanted opinions on him. New to this breed and I have read the sop but do better with visuals and feedback. Thanks in advance . Also I don’t have any CLB females I got him more for egg color genetics but am still interested in the future

I think he looks pretty good. How old is he? The back looks good. No curves or saddles shape. Just a straight downward sloping back as it should be. the tail feathers look wide and full. I don't see sickle feathers yet which is why I ask on the age. he doesn't any positive white on his feathers either which is good, but it usually comes in when the fast growing sickle feathers do. His breast is broad and full. The wattles and comb serrations look good. His has a full crest. There are notches on the back of the blade of the comb which are minor thing but an improvement would be not notches on the blade. There is a slight wave to his comb, but it looks really good to be given the size of his crest. The wings are help close the body and tucked up high which shows good vigor. all of this colors look correct. Nice bird.

Ya...it takes a lot of photos to get to where you understand the standard. You might enjoy reading back through the Legbar Working Group starting at post# 3,743 on June 22, 2018. We had a on-line group that went over the SOP using photos of legbars and other breeds to show what was desirable and undesirable for each point listed in the standard. https://www.backyardchickens.com/content/type/61/id/5028575/width/350/height/700.

Thanks for replying! He is four months old. I had two cockerels (BCM and Bluebell egger) that grew up together and get along great and he kinda threw a wrench into that peace lol I’m thinking of sticking him with his own girls that are a bit more mature and ready for his exuberance lol
Thanks for the link too I’ll check it out!
