    The Legbar Thread!

    I have been thinking about ordering some Cream Legbar Rees line chicks from Greenfire Farms. They have a special going on right now. I would like to hear from people who either have the Rees line or know the line. From some of the photos I have seem they appear smaller. Also are the eggs...

Chicken Pickin, thanks for photos and again advise and comments. I am going to hold off on buying the Rees line for now. You are right the roos look a...

    The Legbar Thread!

    I recently posted photos of my 2014 pullets and the hens/rooster they were produced by (2013 models). The photo I took of the rooster was when he was very young. Photos attached are recent photos of my rooster. He is my only rooster. I did not hold back any male offspring/sons as I do not...

    ChicKat, No, I do not have photos of these pullets as chicks, but I do have photos of the parents. I acquired two of the parents directly from Greenfire Farms last year as hatching eggs that I won in a Backyard chicken contest. I hatched one pullet and my only rooster which is the sire to the...

    You pen has 4' sold walls all around and the roof/top of the pen has wire. Is this right? Are the birds exposed to snow/rain or is there a roof/solid structure over the birds and also over wire. Do you have a photo? Thanks

    The Legbar Thread!

    My Cream Legbars have some excellent size to them, although I do think they grow slower then my other breeds. When mature my CLs were the same size as my Marans etc. One of the reasons I love the CL is because of the lovely large sky blue eggs. I would hate to see the CLs sized down due to...

Probably other thread followers would love to see some too! If you purchased the new line please post photos and discuss pluses and minuses of the...

    The Legbar Thread!

    I appreciate all of your responses and assistance. This Legbar Thread is always very helpful. I thought the black chicks were within the breed as I had seen folks in the past post pics of blacks but of course I may have been wrong they may have been mixes. I "did" have a barred colored easter...

    The Legbar Thread!

    I am excited and wanted to share photos of my recent Cream Legbar chicks. I do have a question. What do those black Legbar males look like when they mature? They are really dark!! The breeding stock is all Greenfire Farms stock. One hen and the rooster are from eggs I hatched directly from...

    Rinda, Thank you for your comments. I hatched out my rooster from eggs shipped from Greenfire Farms last year/2013. He is about 9 months old now. I thought he was carrying the cream gene and that is why he is so light. I thought the next generation of pullets would start exhibiting more of a...

    Here are some photos of my Cream Legbars. Please evaluate. I do know there are some faults in the flock. Such as a couple of the girls have some darker feathers in chest area and Roo has yellow vs white ear lobe coloring, a couple of the girls have smaller crest. One has no real crest, she is...

    My Cream Legbar girls have been laying for a while now. Their eggs are of good size and now that we no longer have freezing temps the eggs are OK to incubate. I get about 6-9 a day. They are laying machines. I have saved up about 80 or so and I am ready to place them in the incubator. These...

    The Legbar Thread!

    First off thank all of you for the evaluation of my GGF hen; both qualities and faults. The above statement is so true "Breeding for success of on trait may diminish the success of the other trait in someone's flock." You see this in a lot of breeding programs; as in cattle. When you select for...
