    Is this a purebred Crested Cream Legbar?

    She looks like she could definitely be pure CL, but probably hatchery quality. CL hens aren’t barred like you see on Barred Rock hens, the roosters are barred. Some of my hens (pure CL as I’ve only ever had CL Roos up till this year) wound up with red earlobes…I don’t have show quality birds...

    Are these 3 Roo or pullet?

    #2 is a pullet. Cream Legbars are sexed at hatch by color. Cockerels have barring once they feather out, pullets look like your bird. I don’t have any pics handy, but if you do a quick search for Cream Legbar cockerels, you’ll see a noticeable difference. Edit: Not 100% sure about the other 2...

    Was I given one mystery breed chick instead of BLRW?

    I actually had a similar thing happen to me this spring- ordered 2 BLRW and wound up with 2 GLBW. Those look exactly like mine… who are both definitely Gold Laced Blacks

    What breed is my white chicken w/ dark skin?

    I remember someone talking about a color anomaly that will occur in Ayam Cemani‘s as well, where the feathers will be white while the skin remains dark. Whatever they are, your birds are beautiful 💜

    What breed is my white chicken w/ dark skin?

    I did a search and found these chickens that look a lot like yours called Moonbeam Chickens. Maybe a mix of a few different breeds, they’re beautiful though :D

    What do Yours Eat?

    Mine love watermelon, cantaloupe, most greens except spinach, and they love to dig all kinds of gross bugs/worms/grubs etc. out of the compost pile. Mine are also fantastic mousers and I watched with morbid fascination the first time one of my little Cream Legbar pullets viciously pounded a dead...

    Flock Composition [Age/Gender] Poll

    I answered B5- I have 21 hens with 2 Roos. 14 young pullets and 1 cockerel who are going in with the main flock very soon (though some will probably be sold), and 15 cockerels who will be butchered out in the next couple of months.

    Chicken with balding breast and reddening skin?

    A lot of my hens have similar bald patches on their chests. Mine get it by sticking their heads through chain link fencing to get at whatever is on the other side. The feathers get stuck in the fence and get ripped out. I‘m not sure if this could be an option for your birds, but I figured I’d...

    What breed do I have?

    Here’s a pic of my Golden Comet pullets when they were around 10 weeks old. Yours do look a lot like mine :D They are sweet birds:love

    How do I start free-ranging my chickens?

    I doused myself in fly spray, grabbed a beer and a lawn chair, and watched my chickens explore outside of the run this evening. Thanks to everyone for your advice and words of encouragement!
