Bella is coming along pretty nicely. Cant wait to get her in a show cage in Nov and Dec!
It was hot today so she was panting.

Love her!
Aww thank you! I sure hope they show well. I plan on taking them to the Appalachain Classic in November and the Dixie Classic in December. I have 2 Cream Legbar pullets and 2 Cream Legbar cockerels picked out also. I may not take them all, just the best 2 out of the 4 Legbars probably.
These arent the best pics of them. I havent taken a pic of the second cockerel yet. The other looks better and has a better crest/comb. His barring is darker too. But their type and tails are good for now. Once they mature over the next few months I will pick the best of them.

Sorry for derailing the thread with my Legbars, but who better to share my chicken pictures with than my friends on this thread.
I for one also have CLs, so I certainly don’t mind looking at more! Good looking birds!
Here's a couple of my favorites.

I couldn't get my blue gal to stand up straight for anything.

Very nice!
I am not looking forward to winter! Snow, ice and stuck in the house for months. I dream of chickens often. Doesn't everyone!!! I had that same nightmare you had for real. Lol
I was gone for the weekend (wedding anniversary) and before we left, one of my ducks decided to take an hour flight away from home, but he did come back, thank goodness. I dreamed about him while we were gone.
That is what I'm trying to say. The person you bought them from has been breeding them for over 10 years. That is a lot of years and hard work! You culled 50% of those birds and do not know what these will produce. You choose which ones to breed forward and
TOM
This is why I won’t likely breed these forward much. I’m not into showing, and don’t have the heart to do all the culling and don’t want to sell sub-par birds.
