Cream Legbars

Does anybody have Cream Legbars from Greenfire Farms? Do you have pictures of your birds? Will you offer hatching eggs when your birds reach POL?

Got my first CL egg yesterday.
Today when I came home, I see another egg in the box, but there is also a pullet in the box with it. Hope it’s another layer. Lol

With a BCM egg. (Also new layers)

I did get 2 today!
They are so pretty! My first blue eggs. My call duck eggs have a blue hue, but these are so beautiful!

my pullets are coming together nicely! We will see how well they do

I just got my first olive egg this morning, from a CLxBCM cross pullet. My CL pullets mostly lay very blue eggs, one lays slightly blue-green tinted. The olive is a beautiful addition!

Just a couple pics taken while admiring birds this afternoon...

Golden Crele in front, Cream in back...according to local breeder.
I am not concerned with the SOP's, got them for making OE's.

This girl is gonna lay any day now.

My pullet must have known this thread has been dead for a couple weeks when she came strutting up for a photo shoot today.

She's still gold and not perfect but she's a wonderful bird. Our feather plucker (who is off to a new home friday) has gotten to her tail.


Nonetheless, a few photos. Hope everyone is well.

Our cream legbar Cockerel did very well over the weekend. The judge, when I was able to ask her after everything was over, liked how they didn't look like golden crele leghorns, with his shape. He does need a bit more tail, but he's just turned 6 months old, so that will come with time. Did have a brief argument with check in about crests! (Yes, small crests are still crests...)

It's weird, this pullets comb has been very large and red for a few weeks, way beyond her 'sisters'. Her points are spreading and I think I spooked her off the nest the other day, thought it was the hen who is tolerant of grabbing eggs from under her.
Pullet patrol is frustrating as the days shorten so quickly...
.....will they go or wait until after solstice??

These 4 all hatched at the same time. One is still very pale and small in the comb and wattles. I suspect the faster developing ones are the ones that the rooster has his way with.
I’m going to try to observe the mating activity.

I got 5 again today!
They look so much more blue in person. Camera just can’t capture it properly
