Never heard of them, they look fun! Sundance, glad you made it! Enjoy that nice warm weather, it is not so great hereI do the same thing. Wish someone was close to me that had eggs to sell. Oh wait, I just may be getting some legbar eggs from the gal that is selling her flock eventually. I told her, save me some eggs first! She said she would.Lisa, have you seen the Tetra Tints? I just lost one..out of 4 doz. !!! The box was a full week late, during that real cold blast we had..when it dipped in the minus. Well, one baby made it to lock down, it was full of fluid, didn't make it.
It was pure white, I knew what it was going to be because I talked with the gal that sent them. She was hoping it would make it, me too. I love how the tint of red comes out in them. I'll find a couple of photos. Leghorn and sex link mix. Can be a red or a black. I love the red tint. These lay brown eggs! Big ones! Something that lays great, and is an interesting color. The gal found out last night, and she is going to send me more in the spring. I guess a lot of folks back east have them in their stores, like our IFA and Cal Ranch..not sure I've ever seen them here?
I really like them, they say they lay an egg a day.
If so I would go with some from her, and maybe a few from the 3/4 FBCM 1/4 legbar pair and maybe a few full FBCM...your FBCM are pretty, I would LOVE some, but I am no good at hatching dark eggs, they seem to always get the "goop". I end up getting my FBCM as pullets after much frustration. I did get one to hatch last year from DMRippy, she is gorgeous, but it took a lot of egg hatching to get her. I would love to give it another try! I definitely need more olive eggers though, my good olive eggers are all getting older ( I did get two new ones last year but neither lay olive!)
