The Legbar Thread!
Can anyone direct me to info on the genetics of crests and blue egg color? After reading up on the genetics of autosexing that rc50 posted I have a thought and maybe it has been addressed in a previous post and I missed it BUT what is to stop one from using a flock of brown leghorn hens to...- phantomriver

I got an 8 but I'm thinking the quality of your video card and quality of screen could help. My PC would have been much worse than the laptop. Now to torture my partially color blind husband with it :)- phantomriver

The Legbar Thread!
Does anyone follow this UK page on Facebook? https://www.facebook.com/groups/332175963534766/ I just watch trying to learn. It seems their birds are generally lighter colored than the american birds.

The Legbar Thread!
I was trying to figure out how I could have sex-linked layers out of leghorns and really what I wanted was blue layers and figured using a leghorn would be part of the mix...then I found out the work had already been done and was better than just being sexlinked:) I'd also been admiring polish...- phantomriver

I experimented with everything including saving a carton of eggs for 6+ months and still shredded them. The biggest impact was just cooking but not over...- phantomriver

Oh No! Sorry to hear that :( You are by far the closest driving distance to me on the Cream Legbar list! I was hoping you would be producing soon. This heat has been terrible. When the laying hens just want to sit around you know it is hot. I don't know how the meat birds in our area are making it.- phantomriver

The Legbar Thread!
After years of my mom bugging me to join this site and using this site as a reference for all things chicken, the Legbars have drawn me out :) My flock is getting elderly so in planning to replace them I stumbled upon this breed. Is there a list of who all is selling legbars and the going rate...- phantomriver
