The Legbar Thread!
just FYI, last year i had what appeared to be a female chick, nice stripes & etc., tiny spot on head but i thought nothing of it -- especially in contrast to the very clearly male chick she hatched with. as they grew up, he developed HUGE comb & wattles very early, and much lighter coloring...- lawatt

yes, that's right -- basic Mendelian genetics there. it's exactly like the way you get blues, blacks, and splashes in BBS breeds, except in that case, Blbl (blue) physically looks different than BlBl (splash) -- whereas OO and Oo outwardly look the same. so if you have an OO rooster, all of...- lawatt

so fascinating! i'm one of those weird people who prefers uncrested birds, so perhaps can scoop up any uncrested culls she ends up with...- lawatt

sounds similar to that trait in cats, that most (all?) white blue-eyed cats are deaf.- lawatt

i took some photos of my ten-week-old CL boy, harold, today -- recently gave his sister away to a friend, her crest was a bit too large for my liking, and she was a bit of a meany -- but he's a sweet little guy: the only thing that's odd about him is he often carries his tail...- lawatt

i have a CCL broody right now as well, in addition to THREE other broodies (a basque, a SPPR, and an australorp) -- just had to move the CL to a different nesting box last night, as the main nesting area only accommodates three, and thankfully she's settled into her new spot without too much...- lawatt

I'm sure this is not what you want to read at this point, but if one hawk has figured out how to get at your chickens, others will too, even if you scare this one away -- they are smart animals, and naturally hunt small birds and rodents -- so a bunch of chickens out in the open probably look...- lawatt

hi all -- finally got some okay photos of my two cream legbars -- the older, 7 week old Amelia, who came from Just Struttin' Farm (Deann Disilva) here in the Bay Area, and the younger, 4-5 week old Speedy, who was shipped here by Richard at Jordan Farm: two two together -- speedy seems...- lawatt

I did not mean to suggest that turtle/reptile gendering worked anything like *chickens* -- i was responding to the post that said fish were the only kinds of organisms where gender was affected by external conditions. and bird genetics isn't necessarily more complex than reptiles, it's just...- lawatt

actually they are finding that gender in sea turtle eggs is determined in part by the temperature of the nest -- several of my envt'l studies students have done research on these, it being a concern re: climate change that warmer and warmer nests will produce only one gender (female, i think, as...- lawatt

well shoot -- i've got one CL pullet (2 weeks old) from a local breeder, and had hoped to get a second from Richard at Jordan Farms -- but he's not hatched any females for two weeks, and my window of opportunity for having all the chicks more or less the same age is rapidly closing. so i might...- lawatt
