crested cream legbar

Hello! I sought some feedback on fb for my legbar flock and they were criticised for being too gold so i bred for lighter colour but now im hearing they are silver? What is cream meant to look like? Mine are a cream looking colour to me 🤷‍♀️

I have had my new Crested Cream Legbar for only 3 days and she is separated from my other pullets whom are 20 weeks. There are 3. Since she arrived 3 days ago she has pecked her coop excessively for hours mainly the afternoon and all night. I go out and call her name until she stops. Then, she...

We have a few girls coming into lay right now. I’m expecting our olive egger and our CCL to lay within the next 3-6 weeks. I checked both girls to see the width of their pelvic bones and the CCL, even though she is a month younger seems to have spread further apart… 2.5 fingers versus the 1.5...

I have five chickens of various breeds/mixes and I’m trying to figure out who is a roo since I can’t keep them in my city. I got them all at 1 day old and they will be 6 weeks old tomorrow. I’ll sort them by color and their names in parens with the breed/mix below. Red and white (Twitch)...

Hello again, it's been a while! I recently added 4 more chicks to my flock, if anyone has guesses on gender I would love to hear it! CCLB: pretty positive she's a pullet, but mostly posting cus she's pretty. Turkens: I've never had these before, but always wanted some. Heard they are harder to...

Look Ma I laid an egg!

:weeI've loved this sweet little, mohawk-stylin' chick from the day she arrived! Today, at 26 weeks, after hopping up on my lap for a scritch behind the ear, she went into the egg box and produced her first, blue egg (the color in the photo doesn't do it justice!) So pretty! :love

This is my first time with Cream Legbars. I am by no means a poultry expert, so I apologize in advance if my theory sounds foolish to any experienced breeder. Nevertheless after witnessing this in my own backyard, I feel this is something that needs to be addressed, just in case this hints at...

This is Hawkeye. We got her from a Hatchery as a day old chick this past December so she's just about 3 months old now. She is so pretty but I think she has the wrong markings? My understanding is that crested cream legbars shouldn't have those black specks on their breast feathers, right? I...

I am from Ontario, Canada and decided to start my chicken flock two springs ago, this current spring being my third. Spring #1 Starting with 15 mixed chicks from a local livestock auction which only one was a hen, just my luck. I then saw 40! free cockerel from a German Bielefelder breeder down...

Hi BYC Friends! So - we are just starting our second year with our poultry. It has been quite a ride so far. Without going into our long story about how we got to hear - I will just get to the question(s). In our newly forming flock, we have - - Tootie - our first little chicken that flew...

Starting an egg color project with a few of my ccl hens and my extra Svart Hona Rooster. It’s my understanding that the auto sexing trait in the ccl actually is passed down by the hen. I hatched out my first two “Crested Svarts” and it appears they may have the male sex indicator patch. I’ll...

I am in Boise, Idaho and looking for very dark Marans eggs, also looking to add some more CLB hens, looking for blue rather than the green eggs if anyone has those. Also BLUE layers, Americanas or other rare breeds etc. Please contact me if you have any breed laying that color. I have an EE...

This is Calico Jack, a mix breed rooster I hatched out for my father. He's still young, and his tail has continued to get a little bigger every time I see him. Here's his lineage... Pure Bred Auraucana ROO X Hatchery RIR HEN (gen 1) (gen 1) HEN X Crested Cream Legbar Mix ROO = Calico Jack So...

I have a question about this particular mixture. I wanted to get some more blue egg layers and found a seller for hatching eggs online that says this mixture is sexable by color. I can't find literature or any posts about this mixture online and I have doubts that they can be sexed by color when...

We moved from town to the family farm a year ago. One of the things we wanted to do is raise a few chickens. Besides the tremendous benefit of a few fresh eggs, we have a terrible problem with ticks in our area. In fact, I spent most of the last summer (with Lyme's disease). In fact, a few...

Can anyone help me to determine what sex my crested cream legbar is?
