David Francis' birds from David Applegarth when re-creating Cream Legbars. I could not, with any certainty, distinguish the chicks from the gold based brown chicks. The expression seemed more varied in pullets varying from looking much like silver duckwing, though slightly browner in the body, to a warmer coloured bird looking cream in hackles & browner in body. Darker areas finely laced with cream. The breast did not seem affected. The males seemed more consistently coloured cream in neck & saddle hackles, shoulders chestnut, wing triangle cream. (same colour as in pic above). Don't know if that helps.

I was in contact with Krys in 2012 when I started out with the breed.  She told me a little about David Francis who lived very close to her and who taught her what to cull for. She also told me what she gleaned about Applegarth from Francis' comments to her.  She help where she could was a big help when I was starting and the breed was so new to the US.
