    Cream Legbar Working Group: Standard of Perfection

    Welcome to Cream Legbars! They are such a cool and fun breed, by far my favorite! Here's my two cents on you flock: First with your rooster: His comb doesn't look terribly crooked, but should only have about 6 points He also has a lot of chestnut in his wing, back and saddle. Your hens...

    The chick on the right looks good, and provided she develops good adult traits you could breed her, same with the male in the middle. I would not use the chick on the left.

    I Fed My Chick Too Much Calcium... Now What?

    Sure, if you look at chicken starter that has a calcium range of 0.70%-1.20% compared with game bird starter at 1.0%-1.50% it may seem like a small increase, but really that is an increase of 43.0% - 25.0% which is huge!

    I Fed My Chick Too Much Calcium... Now What?

    I met with a breeder and purchased 8 cute little Blue/Black Copper Marans, and stopped at the feed store on the way home to get a bag of chick starter. I talked to the counter clerk about my new chicks and my chickens at home, then the stockroom clerk loaded the feed in my car. All the chicks...

    Hi Flaming Chicken!!! I was so excited to see your response! I still have your number in my phone and think of you and your flock often :) We love Horatio, but re-named him Ref because he is such a good referee with the girls. Thanks for the update about their hatch dates.

    Cream Legbar Working Group: Standard of Perfection

    My hen's sinus infection began with a bubbly eye, and then her whole sinus cavity swelled up on the right side with a large marble sized lump. I separated her from the flock and treated her with an antibacterial eye ointment and regularly massaged the lump to ease the thick cheese-like pus out...

    Cream Legbar Working Group: Standard of Perfection

    Thanks! So what do you do with the culls? I have mixed feelings about selling them because if they aren't perfect they shouldn't be used for breeding, but on the other hand I know there are plenty of people who just want them for their cool looks and eggs. Do you sell yours as a CL, or send...

    Cream Legbar Working Group: Standard of Perfection

    Here's my rooster. He supposedly came from GFF in 2012. I know he has a squirrel tail, curled comb, and some red in his ear lobes, but it was a place to start. He's a nice boy with a docile temperament though he doesn't seek affection he will tolerate handling and is not people aggressive...

    Quote: Interesting how this hen has more buff in her breast than salmon.

    Cream Legbar Working Group: Standard of Perfection

    I got my Cream Legbar trio in the fall from a breeder in northern Washington. She had listed her roo on Craigslist and pointed out that he had a couple faults: curled comb and squirrel tail, but that his color was near perfect. She suggested picking the best roos from the hatch and continue...

    Cream Legbar Working Group: Standard of Perfection

    I love my Cream Legbars and am fairly new to breeding them, though I am picky about who I keep for breed stock. I recently posted on a poultry facebook group and was promptly reprimanded that they are "Crested Cream Legbars". Not wanting to get into an argument with this person, I thought I...

    Comment by 'Cadbury Eggs' in item 'Australorp'

    Thanks for the specific review about rain and mud in the Pacific Northwest. I will consider adding an Australorp to my Washington flock because of your review.

    Wyandotte hen can't stand up or balance - video

    Thank you for all your support. Yesterday I decided it was time to cull her. I had thought about it a lot, and know that it was not a good quality of life for her. I think I was hanging on more for my benefit and attachment than hers. It was sad, and hard, because I've never had to do that...

    Wyandotte hen can't stand up or balance - video

    1 week update: Goldie still can't stand up, or balance in a normal sitting position. During the day I had been putting her in a cage on the grass with her food and water within reach, and bringing her in at night. After about a week I noticed she was losing weight. I think this was largely...

    What do you gather eggs in?! Pics?

    I use this wicker one from Michael's. I used to use pockets, but I get between 18-24 eggs per day. We usually check every few hours because we can.

    Wyandotte hen can't stand up or balance - video

    Thank you both. I really don't want to give up on her yet, because she hasn't given up either. I will go get some vitamins and wormer and see if that helps. Right now she is out on the lawn in the shade (protected with the cage that used to be in the coop for chicks) with her food and water...
