Well she is a pretty little thing. Do you know anything about the genetics that mixing the Spangled with the legbar produces such a dark result. That surprised me!
I can't tell much about the boys, but I fell in love with your pullets! I also have a couple Legbar x Silver Spangled Hamburg... I was surprised they are so dark, but look at lot like your pullet does. (Hamburgs and your X look a lot alike.) Regarding your CL, love her legs, crest, and the she...
This youngster is still too colorful, but his hackles are less colorful than Sunny's He has a smaller Comb, a bigger crest, and although it doesn't show up in this picture has yellower legs. Nearly perfect ear lobes. He needs to fill out a bit. Like Sunny his tail is too high. That is what I...
Totally supply and demand as ChicKat stated. They were imported not that long ago, they are a striking looking bird, lay a blue egg, auto-sexing, even as a new breed they are more stable than the EEs. Add the great personalities and you have a bird which is very desirable. :)
Mine are...
Was trying to get their crests to show up... The one on the right has a nice large crest, I posted this picture before, but I had added a black "frame" around them and it made their legs look blue. They are brown feathered, not gray. Their neck feathers look fairly cream in the sunshine, and...
Well, I still might have hatched an EE, although no signs of puffy cheeks and a straight comb. I need to get a new picture, the wild "color" is more defined now.
Any how on to the ones I know are legbars, I have this little couple I am growing out... They are interesting and a little...
Very beautiful little pullet. The rest are very nice too, but I really love that pullet. Hmmm, I have a few I am not sure that they are too. I was thinking I might have hatched an EE egg... But now I see that girl I better grow them out some.
I just had two broody's share the eggs, they also "took turns". Right after the hatch they kind of fought over the chicks, now the chicks are about 2.5 weeks old, one mom is the leader and the other stays behind, never letting any stragglers get lost. It is super cute and it has been very...
There is a mixture of quality Walt. FMP,has the best I have seen - besides FMP. His are not included in the Craigslist Count. However they are here in the area.
There are some listed on the "southside" that look a bit like the 2014 Champion in color and have a good type. I have talked...
You should do a search of Cream Legbars on Spokane's craigslist we have 4 - 5 ads at any given time. The Legbar is in full force at any given time. They go for $25.00 a pullet.
Like everyone else, I have trouble capturing the "Blue" in photographs. I took this picture in a dark corner of my coop where the broody is sitting. I have considered taking eggs out there again to photograph them.
In the picture the egg looks almost wet and glossy, but I find my eggs are a...
That is pretty interesting, one test would be to check if the inside of the egg matches the outside. If it is green, it is likely there is also "paint" or added color on the shell. In Olive Eggers - Eggs, the birds have the gene for both the blue shell and multiple genes for the brown shells...

Brown eggs are darker at the beginning of the laying cycle due to the shell being white and the brown is actually added (kind of painted) to the outside of the shell as a last step, in the hen's egg making process.... as the laying cycle goes on the eggs don't get as much color, so the...
My original flock came from a gal in Montana, I didn't pay much attention to "breeder" because my intent was to breed them to my Marans for Olive Eggers. I have a friend that lives near and had Legbars and she spoke very highly of them. When I saw my new Legbars I fell madly in love with...
