    I will be re candling next week but am thinking only 3-4 possibly made it this far .... looks like most of my own eggs were infertile. I guess I should be thankful for that...

    Cream Legbars

    these are some I bought as a 4 month old trio, all have them :( I didn't notice their toes due to the shavings when I picked up. Medicated feed is a definate possiblity as the breeder (well hatcher of the eggs) hatches and sells chicks weekly. the eggs came from another breeder, he said he was...

    Cream Legbars

    Anyone having issues with crooked toes on their Cream Legbars? (as juvinles or adults) I've been researching and it seems as it could be genetic but maybe a defiency problem. And the only way to tell if it's one way or the other is to hatch eggs from the bird and see if they pass it on. Any...

    A Bielefelder Thread !

    that's what I thought....

    Assorted Chicks. Guesses?

    Cream Legbars

    So far very similar. My cl seem slightly less easy going but bought them as older chicks and definatly less food aggressive. (My Brahmas go a little nuts when its feeding time. Not mean)

    Cream Legbars

    They're doing better. Am no longer worried about them not getting enough to eat. Ages in my flock range 5 m to 2 yrs. Only other roos are 3 week older than the cl's....they are Brahmas and not even crowing yet. The cl roo is.

    Cream Legbars

    good to know, will try putting them on the roosts after supper tomorrow. They did eat with gusto when I stood by them and kept the other more aggressive ones away. They just give in if another chicken came over to share the bowl, silly chickens. None of the others are being nasty just normal...

    Cream Legbars

    I put my trio of cream legbars in with the flock 2 days ago....they are 4 mos old. And seem super docile and no desire to jump in and eat at feeding times. Even the roo runs if hen comes close though he did stand up to another 4 month old roo. They spend most their time cowering in a corner. :(...
