If I were a betting man, I'd say plan on some babies in about a month.

This guy actually wanted to hold baby chicks this morning! He usually wants nothing to do with them. Too cute. <3 Unfortunately, we lost 2 that just weren't thriving. They weren't really walking around well since hatching so it didn't come as a surprise, just sad. Down to 2 blues and 2 blacks.

Ok friends, does anyone know of chicken breeds or cross breeds that are good for jumbo size eggs? We have really enjoyed the eggs from our Cornish X ladies this summer, but their trip to camp is coming up with the approach of winter. I know there is an industrial strain of Leghorn that is suppose to lay jumbo because we had one once upon a time, but the eggs weren't massive like these. Plus that poor girl burned out really fast.

Ipick, cute pictures. Sorry you lost a couple of chicks.

I finally did it! It took months, but I ordered a pair of Silver Laced Wyandotte from Jerry Foley. These birds are just amazing. The type and lacing are incredible and they are big and healthy. I hope to improve the stock of SLW in Utah with this pair. These are by far my favorite birds.





Look at all that lacing!


They type is amazing on these healthy birds.

Your SLW's are AMAZING looking.

[/COLOR][COLOR=141823]Categories of Entries:[/COLOR][COLOR=141823] 1. Varieties of Entrants: Cream Legbars, “Crele” Legbars, White Legbars[/COLOR] [COLOR=141823]2. Entrants will be labelled as: Cocks, Hens, Cockerels, or Pullets Judging and Results: 1. The best and reserve cock, hen, cockerel, and pullet for each variety will be determined. 2. The best and reserve variety will be determined from the best cock, hen, cockerel, and pullet within that variety. 3. The best and reserve in show will be determined from the best in variety champions. 4. The current Revision 4 of the draft Standard of Perfection (SOP) for the cream legbar will be used for judging. We hope to have tentatively approved two preliminary draft SOPs for the White Legbar and the “Crele” Legbar available for the APA judge’s use and comment. Awards: 1. The Best in Show winner will receive a two year paid membership to the Cream Legbar Club 2. The Reserve in Show, the Best and Reserve Variety winners will receive a one year paid membership to the Cream legbar Club. 3. Only one award membership will be granted per entrant. Recommendations: 1. When adding your entry to the Facebook event page, please ensure that you title your entry with the variety and label of the bird to be entered. Examples: Cream Legbar Cock; White Legbar Hen; “Crele” Legbar Cockerel; Cream Legbar Pullet, etc. This will greatly facilitate judging of the bird and eliminate any confusion of the variety that you believe the bird to be. 2. The judging will be done by an APA registered/licensed poultry judge. So do your best to present your birds in show condition. If this were a live show, the judge would examine and pick up the bird. As such, the judge would expect to find birds freshly bathed and in peak condition. 3. Show birds have attitude!! They unfailingly have a sense of who they are and this message comes across loudly in the pictures of the bird. This, too, is a point of judging birds in a show. How does the chicken carry himself or herself in presenting themselves to other chickens and people? Capturing this attitude in a picture can make all the difference especially since the APA judge is unable to pick the bird up or observe the bird’s behavior in an online show. As always, we wish everyone the best of luck in this online show. We are really looking forward to the great pictures of your birds and the results of the great work that you are doing to support the legbar breed and its varieties! FINAL NOTE: With respect to draft SOPs for this show. As noted in the judging section, we will use the current draft Revision 4 of the Cream Legbar SOP as posted on the club website. We are seeking the APA judge’s comments on the preliminary draft of the White Legbar and the “Crele” Legbar SOPs. With respect to the shape and physical structure of the male and female White and “Crele” Legbars, these varieties will use the same information as the draft Revision 4 of the Cream Legbar SOP.[/COLOR][/COLOR]

Oh! Thanks for the info! I will try to get my pullet entered! By chance, were you the one that had CLs at the show? I've been trying to hatch CL chicks from TX this year but have only gotten the one so far.
