Here's a Gold Legbar roo which I covet horribly and a shorter thread. We'd got to Tia's bantams and cresteds
Chat-a-Doodle doo #5
Oh wow, that is a gorgeous roo.
oooh! beautiful!
Hey Maybe if everyone here on the DG Poulty threads will send a letter to my city demanding that they allow roosters..... hmmm....
Hey Anjl--did you hear where one of the candidates for mayor in Sacramento had allowing/encouraging urban chickens as part of her platform? Sadly she did not make it to the run-off. The people get what they deserve!
Oh My goodness sakes alive I got my arm up waveing Hellooooooo I want one I'm just overwhelmed that is one gorgeous rooster!!!!!!!!!!I can't even tyoprk typr TYPE!!!
Whoa! That IS a gorgeous roo!!!!! Wow!
Found 'em on a UK site. Developed as a cross in the forties I think -true sex-linked green egger, so they say. Not available here, so they say. I covet.
I WANT ONE, CF. If I get 2 Embdens and a couple of silkies can I have 3 Legbars pleeeease??
Well if they could breed them in the UK, they ought to be able to do the same here. What's up with that?
I will get 2 turkeys and a goose if i could just stand next to the coop and admire him.
I'll up your turkeys 1 emu!!
Claire, it was something about stabilizing the breed and repeating the breeding pattern long enough to do it. I should look all that up again but I'm too busy chatting...
I'll see your emu and raise you a swan make it 2
DD wants to raise you 3 Dodos. Not sure that's kosher. 2 swans and a peacock - what if CF HEARS this before we calm down?!!Ulp.
I'll raise you 2 alpacas 8 geese 4turkeys 1 peacock and a pot bellied pig now do you fold or what??
Just saw that bit of yak twixt you and Cats, Claire maybe you guys could russle us up some Legbars. You'd be far better at keeping track of the genetics than I would.
Heck no. See that and raise you 6 goats and a parade horse.
I would love to give it a try I'm good with the Genetics By the name could it be a leg horn crossed with a barred rock????????
Darn Grownut all i got left is a mule and a circus elephant but i'll raise it!!!!
If yer non talkin' tangerine yer jes not talkin'
Lemme see if I can find that info -it was definitely something like that + a little green egg genes
Was it the mule or the elephant that had to be tangerine??????????????
HMMMMMMMMMMMMM Sounds like Barred Rock + Leg Horn + Americana i Believe you could cross a Barred rock with an americana and could come to something similar too that. I definately see the familar barred rock bars in his tail and chest. I know a man who raises only americanas and the color without the bars is similar to some roos he has i could get a barred rock hen and he would give me a roo and we could see????????
WOW i was writeing my post and came back to find the link and i was right about the breeding and i hadn't even seen the link my knowledge has officialy scared me............i may actually know more than i need to know about chickens.......
Can you recreate the Blue Foot Chicken too?
First tell me what it is and i'll tell you.
Hey Grownut was it the elephant or the mule this elephant is gettin tired of standing here and i may have a cleanup real soon.
Bird......tangerine biiiird. Sorry bout that. I was just getting ready to pull out the camel when DH came home...
Maybe if 3-4 of us got together -y'know -systematic like, and each worked on similar strains in combination we could jumpstart a Legbar thing over here.
I'm pullin out do what you will with the elephant CLEANUP ON ISLE 9!!
Well i guess most folks have turned in GOOD NIGHT and thanks alot Grownut i bet this elephant is going to take up over half the bed. Those trunks are just so hard to sleep with and the snoreing i bet i don't sleep a wink.
Out West and in Australia we are just warming up!
Blue Foot Chicken! You heard her, she ask about the Blue Foot Chicken!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_foot_chicken
...here, listening, and taking notes. TAKING NAMES TOO!
Emus, Elephants, Tangerines, Parade Horses, Geese, Turkeys, Swans, Peacocks, Dodos, Alpacas, Goats, Mule, AND A POT BELLIED PIG!!!???
You'll have no space for Silkies, I'll scratch those.
And all for a chicken you could make yourself. You people can be so vain. Sigh. I better see some more roos adopted out, or some of you folks will no longer be on my Route.
Thou Shalt not covet they neighboring countries' fowl.

CF
It was the heat of the moment. And if I'm getting 14 more roos I'll need to adopt out or something..
ps. CF I did ask about getting together to set up a breeding program...not all lazy, just covetous.

Permission granted to fatten them up and eat them. Just do so humanely.
Never type in the heat. You cannot take it back.
