That seems a little long, but I've not actually timed mine before :) - they do dust bathe, and that can be a bit time consuming. @WVduckchick what do you think?

Ooohh, so exciting! Can't wait!

Haha!! Yeah, my legbars are super flighty as well - my 55s too. But they do lay eggs - so yeah, like you, I can give them credit for that and overlook some of the ridiculous behavior. :)

So cool! What's her breed cross? Our OE is a BCM \ EE cross.

Oh, that is wonderful!! :fl for eggs!!! :)

Beautiful!! Good girls!

MERRY CHRISTMAS! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!! Best wishes for a wonderful New Year! :)

Her face is fabulous!! Gotta love her determination! Happy Christmas vacation !! :)

Wow... we are no strangers to wildland fires here and every single time one burns nearby, it is frightening. The haunting glow if the hills is just eerie! I'm glad you are safe, and will pray the winds calm down very soon!

Hello all! Glad to see all the beautiful chicks!! We, too, had a great hatch of our replacement flock (as most of you know by now, rare breeds are far more susceptible to illness than the more "heritage" breeds, so we lost half our Cream Legbars). The good news was that we got three darling CL...

Really lovely!! They grow up so quickly! :)

I just love to watch broody-raised chicks - they never cease to amaze me. In the morning when I open up the coops and throw out some handfuls of scratch/boss mix, those little chicks get in there with the rest of them - I even have one who has decided to take on the older girls if there's a...

You have quite a few!! Darling!! :) What are your plans for them?

Now it's a "wait and see" prospect. Three chicks were vaccinated. It wasn't nearly as hard as I thought it would be. I only had to re-do one. AC chicks are tricky because of their black skin, so I thought I had penetrated skin (it was really yelling like I had), when all I'd gotten was fluff...

First day is always the worst. I used to think 4 days was a pretty good number for chicken amnesia "I have always been in this coop. I know exactly how to put myself to bed at night" - but some birds definitely take longer. I still fight with a little Exchequer pullet. Every.night. For some...

Aww!! Love it!! Hope your day is as great as it began! (eta: this was supposed to be a reply to the darling lap chickens!! )

Yes, Toby is the splash variety. Like most "blues" they come in blue, black and splash (lots of chicken folk just say BBS) and the color combinations are interesting, genetically. I have Toby in with all my SB girls right now - so their offspring will all be either blue (with the black and blue...

Right, apparently there was already a breed called Isbars, (not sure where?) so they were calling these Silverudd's Isbars for a while, until they formally changed the name to Silverudd's Blues. They're a standard sized bird, but share the petite nature of a leghorn (one of the ingredients in...

One of my other girls - this one is a couple weeks away from POL, but her hatch mates have begun to lay darling, tiny sage green eggs!

Very cool - they look a lot like my SBs - but I'm sure in person, the Austrolorpes are definitely larger birds. My SBs are petite, compact little egg laying machines!
