we will wait for them to grow of course, just was surprised of the missing brown colours, sadly none of the cream legbar egg was fertile, not sure why. We have hatched several cream legbar crosses this year from other roos.
I let my broody Blue Australorp sit on a six egg clutch; rooster is AC. 4 hatched, all survived. Ended up with 3 roos; 1 was Australorp, the other two Sicilian Buttercup, and one hen, also from a buttercup egg. Pretty cool looking chickens. The 3 roo’s were crowing at around 7 weeks, as soon as I had them in the kids coop.
Your boy must only have a single fibro gene. Interested to see if any other chicks come out with the dark skin! Or how they feather out! Sadly, I'll never be able to see how mine come out. Our flock was hit with coccidiosis and I lost my avatar boy. It didn't present the way it usually does...and none of the affected birds had the tell-tale stool. In fact, the one I'm treating right now in my kitchen had normal stool until 2 days into treatment. I was so perplexed as there were weeks in between birds passing and they continued to eat. We had firework debris from a neighbor rain down on our yard so we thought they'd been poisoned. I had the state come out and test our birds and do necropsies on 2 of them as a result. I'm still waiting on final results but preliminary results indicate coccidia burden. I'm heartbroken. I have Corid on hand at all times but because they were eating and had normal stool, I ruled out coccidiosis early on. Lesson learned. Not everything is textbook. In the future, I'll get fecals right away no matter how normal droppings look :'( I miss my boy..

I've never had a chicken love me as much as he did

You're so sweet. TY! We live quite a distance from each other but we try to plan one camping trip a year and we really loved Shenandoah in the past. Haven't decided on next year's trip yet but if it takes us in your direction, I might take you up on that offer. TY ❤He does have blueish appearing skin where I can see. Here's a better video:
I'm so sorry
I'm going to have fibro eggers, fibro rocks, and these fibro Cornish X out of my two Ayam Cemani roo's next spring. I also picked up two Austrolorp hens this week that I will be breeding to them as well.
Plus I have five BBS Ameraucana roo's, and two Ayam Cemani pullets that'll be breeding age over the winter, and laying solid next spring.
Plus any pure bred birds that might come available.
Depending on when you want to start, we can get you some cool birds to replace what you lost. I'm more than happy to help.
