This young man is shaping up well for the Standard. Not of my breeding, but from a breeder who also tries to get Standard Cream Legbars
 Some of the pullets are showing signs of improvement too.

| The pictures of your CL pullets look good. They are quite a creamy pink in the breast and don't have that deep rusty colour of many poor CL nowadays. If they stay that colour, and I have no reason to suppose they wont, they will make good breeding stock. Thanks for posting the pictures - nice to see good birds. Regards Richard. |

It would be nice to get some pictures of really good types, of the auto sexing breeds put in the Poultry standards, or should i say more pictures, as the Rhodebar and Wybar have been included in the 6th edition. I was pleasantly surprised at how beautiful the Barnebar is, but that doesn't even feature in the standards book? I think they are very attractive birds.

It could provoke interest in less popular breeds, and give breeders a visual target to aim for?

| I had some Barnebar, but beautiful as they were, they were not such good layers as the Welbars and Cream Legbars.Perhaps auntosexing breeders could get together to produce a book of photographs of birds that are Standard, or very close. |

I'm quite tempted by Rhodebars since I saw the Hollygate website.
Not so sure about their CLBs though

| Their CLBs definitely look a bit suspect, don't they?!! |
