Cream Legbars

Some how, I can just picture it. But with chickens, it could have been a barn-yard mix that just happened. Now I'm going to be on the lookout for metallic plumage..out of Curiousity.

And it's not a Heritage Buff Orpington? They're described as having bright gold plumage and have been popular since the late 1800's.

my CCL laid 1 egg about 4 or 5 days ago there are 3 the same age and nothing since then. Is this normal for this breed? 2 Marans the same age started the same day amd they have laid at least every other day. Does anyone know if the CL are not very heavy layers both sets are same age and get the same feed and free range time any ideals would be great thanks

Last week was a slow week for us and my girls still averaged 4.5 eggs each. Has it been very hot or very stormy lately where you live? Friends have mentioned that when the temps reach 100, the girls are not laying.

X2 as KPenley said, my CL really feels the heat. If your temperatures have been very hot that may have an effect.

After this week of 95s and the humidity and heat index our girls have now stopped laying pretty much altogether. We have gone from an egg every day from each of them to one egg every two days.

Wow, I really like these guys. The boys have no red that I can see and have really good combs and body type. Now others may disagree, but I really like the type on your pullet. I personally prefer a longer shank and neck, it is more leghorn-y and seems more to my vision of what the originals looked like (going off of the one photo I remember from way back--I think the club was originally considering the silhouettes based off of them).

Refresh my memory--where did these guys come from? You must be really happy!
