    Several of mine have this. How best do we breed for barred tail?

    Cream Legbar Pictures

    Thank! I'm not sure about the mother, I ordered the eggs online and hatched the CLBs in my incubator. I'm very happy about the brood, though, as we had a poorer hatching rate than I'd hoped for (about 25%, which isn't terrible for shipped eggs). The tag-teaming seems like a healthy way to...

    Cream Legbar Pictures

    I had a CLB who was laying shelless eggs. I kind of just wrote her off, my daughter's favorite was probably stressed from the handling and I didn't expect eggs from her after that. She ran off a few weeks ago, but she'd appear once a day or two. Suddenly, yesterday, she comes back with nearly a...

    Cream Legbar Pictures

    Thank you! We think they're pretty! What a great visual, and tactile! The birds are so calm and gentle when handled from the beginning. That dark crest is amazing. My chooks are loving going outdoors and getting the little bit of sunshine we've had this week.

    Cream Legbar Pictures

    Thank you, both! My toddler's pullet is the gentlest, friendliest bird I've ever seen! My daughter gets behind her and to pick her up and off they go, chicken feet dangling. They had a rocky start (my little girl is actually terrified of animals), but they've come to love each other. The pullet...

    Cream Legbar Pictures

    Hi, I'm new to this thread. I hatched Legbars on Halloween (4 from Chicken Fanatics) and Thanksgiving (2 from Papa Brooder), so my birds are 17 and 13 weeks old. We had a nice warm afternoon - finally over 40!), and the birds kept collapsing to sunbathe! I love it when they stick all their...

    Good job! It seems to take a bit of practice. Thank you! We hatched just one of the three Marans. It looks like a roo and was named Biscuit. The one that I couldn't see movement the last few days had died in the shell, and the other was malpositioned and didn't make it. Six out of 20...

    The Rhodebar thread!

    Thank you for answering. I know they aren't very clear. It's good to see that they are sexable. Thank you for your information and clearness. I can send a picture to the provider of the eggs and ask for clarity.

    I hope it's back on and the chicks surprise you. They make some heat if their own at this late stage, so they have a bit of resiliency. Let us know how it goes!

    I have five chicks hatched so far: two cream Legbar (a male and a female) that are really dark compared to my first batch! And, three Rhodebars (I think a male and two females). I'm still waiting on the Marans - one now has a pip, a second had movement for sure last I checked (Thanksgiving...

    The Rhodebar thread!

    Hello, I'm new to this thread. I just had three Rhodebars hatch and I would like to know your opinion. Do I have two female and a male? The other two chicks are a male and a female Legbar. Thanks in advance!

    Argh, it's hit or miss for me whether I can post pics. It's a miss today. First egg hatched: Cream Legbar! Female! Second egg pipped: Cream Legbar! I'm feeling good about this hatch right now. of the 4 CL eggs I received, two have made it to this point. Before the first external pip this...

    Been super busy with the U.S. holiday coming, I've just caught up! I am loving seeing these baby chicks! To the incubator failure and power failure go my sympathy! I'm in a new state, and I have no idea how often the power may go out here! We're in lockdown, hatch day due tomorrow, and...

    Candle. I think one of mine with a detached air cell made it. There were several that started, but were early deaths, and many didn't start. The next time, I'll rest them longer before placing in the incubator, to see if that helps.

    Almost there! That's the hardest part for me, waiting when I see they've started The Great Egg-scape!

    November Hatch-A-Long (2014)

    Yes, out of the four Legbar eggs that I did receive, two are still alive and kicking! One has a bad saddle shaped air cell. (Edited to clarify) Of the two removed, one had "sap" spots and didn't vein, but didn't quite look right (a second egg with less sap spots was just removed, but was clear)...

    Day 14, and I opened the clears. None of the R2 (green-egg Rhodebars) had even started. :( So, of my original order of 15 Legbars (which had stopped laying in time for my order - bad timing on my part), I have a variety of 8 eggs still kicking. Four more days until lockdown. But! My eggs have...

    Loving the chick pics! Good incubating, keep 'me coming! Sorry for the losses others have posted about. I'm on day 10. Wicks the waxed egg didn't make it. Definite blood ring on that and one more Maran. So, I'm down to 8 currently live embryos. I'm leaving the 3 green Rhodebars eggs and the...
