We are trying to hatch 11 eggs so maybe that will help him out.

I am sure I do, but it would be next week before I could let you know what.

Great just give me a call when you do and I will let him know Thank you so much Donna!

Donna and Becky can you ladies look at the Blue French Copper Marans pic that I posted in this group (I think yesterday) and see if you have any guesses?

I have no idea why his legs would be "fat" but all roosters are going to have larger-thicker legs.

I didn't think his legs looked fat. Bigger maybe? But roosters have bigger legs than hens. Maybe he's just big?

They just looked like rooster legs to me. I have a roo that has HUGE legs even when he was younger. He is not hearty and I think he might have a heart problem....

I saw that roo Donna is talking about and he has monster legs!

I may be able to help. My birds are CRESTED for sure. These 2 batches coming should have crests too. I have a crested roo but he only has one copy of the blue egg gene

I have a pullet laying cream eggs too... she needs to go and he will as soon as I have a back up again. I hatched 1 little roo. Hopefully I will have more fertile eggs in a few weeks and can start hatching. FINALLY. Mine are from CJWaldon's birds and she has been working on them for a few years and never had cream eggs so I hope her birds are GOOD to GO! She is sending me eggs and so is Papa Brooder.

Thankfully we haven't had a cream egg layer in ours…yet! They have all laid a blue/green egg.
