Normanack and Dredt, glas is an excellent word, the color of the sea, of grass, or of silver. Now we need a Celtic or other old word for the color of tropical waters, the aqua blue near a peach and apricot sunset, or the drop of a new mint leaf into a bucket of soft blue sky. Then, the way I...

Managed to get another up. Ok, color in males increasing left to right. Very dark female.

On the left my lightest male. Would love to upload more, but experiencing difficulties. Just wanted to say my males will probably begin showing all their color from here on out. There are 12 from an Easter hatch. Many are dark. I went back to the photos of my original GFF males at this age...

Shake it, dancing bunny!

Thank-you on the close up, GaryDean26! Just trying to get a sense of variation in the lighter tones. Steen, Yes, these goats are easy and more fun than I imagined. My two oberhasli couldn't be sweeter! Yet they are very much goats, still prone to getting after things, if the chance arises...

Hi, calling UK breeders, is this what you are seeing in your cream boys?

GaryDean26 thanks for posting this!

Newly hatched male. I see reddish brown and slate blue or perhaps it's silver-grey. He seems like Lonnyandrinda's yellow/orange (not pink) band, so perhaps more likely to carry more chestnut. Even though I have typically had darker males at hatch, some positive loss of chestnut coloring is...

So I have this lighter male. Please look at, I see lots of red and slate blue. My guess is he will have some chestnut. Lonnyandrinda, showed a nice set of comparison photos on the Cream Legbars thread. Her more similar lighter male chick appears to have chestnut is this wings. Those who...

Likewise, albeit I haven't hatched much, but have a friend doing a small hatch, so I'll check on hers. Do I remember you having a friend with the gold legbars? It might be nice to see/know their down color on females. I have always been curious about the gold, being the "brown stripe type"...

Those little ones are darling! Love the crocked, half-up, half-down ears.

GaryDean26, Can you show us the Blaze male chick with a larger photo? The chick seems almost like it has some slate blue to it. Of course these are not a cream legbars, but this is the slate blue color tone I see within the back stripping on your new Blaze cockerel. Last year, just...

Some of the best information, I've seen is right here. https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/hatching-eggs-101

Edited the long post, so you know it was my general public rant. For Kermit the frog, it's not easy being green. Some days it's not easy being me. Having a positive feeling of esteem for others, what they are saying, why, and where they are coming from (not only in the sense of geographic...

Yikes, I better post some chicks or something. Too many lengthy posts. How about an evening shot, and a blurry one of my soon to be mama goat trimming some hedges? Both she and my other are due ~May 23, likely sooner and with multiples (if all goes well). I'm bursting with anticipation of...
