    That's a good idea! I've read where people put up wild game cameras, that sense motion and takes photos/video, at the nesting boxes.

    I am now extremely jealous! Cream Legbars are my only non hatchery chickens right now. My attempts at incubation have been a huge failure, from shipped eggs and home eggs. Out of 3 sets of shipped eggs one failure was from the shipment but the other 2 there's development but they don't...

    First, Cream Legbars AND White Bresse, I'm officially jealous... Second, that is a super cute chick!

    I recall, I believe on a silky thread, reading to view white as 'white out'.

    I didn't realize Myers carries CL's. I was under the impression that Greenfire is a smaller production but that was my assumption based on the amount they are asking per chick. I believe that My Pet Chicken is a middle man? I think I'll stick with harassing you for more amazing birds...

    I don't have an answer for you but wanted to share. The only successful chick I've had hatch has been a CL x Partridge Plymouth Rock, I'm crossing my fingers for a pullet also. I'm not a huge fan of our PPR hen, I'm 99.9% sure the chick was from an egg from our grumpy hen and she lays...

    Congrats on your new CL's and mix! We lived in Fort Wainwright for 3 years while my husband was stationed there. Being Texans we were ready to leave the 9 months of winter behind...now we miss it like crazy!

    All our hens have slowed down the last week or so, with no real 'obvious' signs of molting. I was leaning towards it being an adjustment to the heat, we are already in the mid/upper 90's going into triple digits over the next few days. I'm hoping once they adjust to the heat, they will pick...

    I'm having issues with early quitters on the CL eggs. I added a few to our first hatch, along with our CL rooster over our different hens. I wish I would have documented better but most of the CL didn't make it to lockdown. The hatch was a 100% fail overall, I think they shrink wrapped. So...

    I'm so excited! 3 out of 4 of our CL pullets are laying. The girl that's not is the one that was laying when we got them but seems to be molting.

    How long are you able to keep both? I would let them grow out more before making a choice if you can. One might have an amazing personality that might out weigh a crooked comb. The first one looks to have more of a crest. So much can change over a few months, even until after molt, at least...

    How old is she? Is she near laying? I've been told my prices are low, which is nice sometimes because I don't have to hold onto chickens longer than I want. I'm not selling Cream Legbars and sometimes I'm not sure what I'm selling since I've ordered a couple of hatchery surprises and I'm not...

    One of our younger pullets started laying! The older one seems to have stopped laying, we've gotten one egg in the last 10 days from her. Hopefully she's just molting! The blue eggs definitely make me smile!

    So, after almost a week, our CL girl laid again. Her eggs have been pretty round, still egg shaped but very Humpty Dumpty in shape. Todays egg was torpedo shaped, almost exactly like our Turkens. I'm going to keep an eye on her, something just seems off.

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA A few days ago I got excited about a naked neck and looked up 'naked chicks'....yeah, that backfired... On the pelvic bone check, if she's started laying but has stopped, say due to molt, will the space close up or once its spread, does it stay that way? Of course its now...

    I think she might be molting. I will have to look again to see how old she is but I believe that sounds like the right age. Her wing feathers seem scruffy, for lack of a better way to explain it. I thought it might be from the cockerel but he seems extremely gently. My daughter thought she...

    Our CL pullet has stopped laying. When we first got her she was on a 2 day lay, day off, sometimes 3 days, then off. She hasn't laid since Tuesday, and I don't believe Tuesdays egg was hers, it was small and I believe one of the other pullets though I haven't had eggs from either one since at...

    Thank you! I will check our local store for them. The second one says not available online so hopefully I can find them, if not I can at least order the first one.

    Can you post a link or information about the thermometer that transmits to a remote location? I wonder if they have one that will send a signal to a smart phone? I bought a probe thermometer hoping to run the cord out where the turner cord is and then set up the alarm to let me know if it got...

    Thank you! I do. I have 2 digital thermometers that I set on the tray. The one next to the turning motor always seems to read .5-1* higher than the one on the other side. On rare occasions I catch them reading the same. I bought a probe thermometer and had planned to use it inside a home...
