Hello everyone!
I need help identifying this breed. They are six weeks old.
My best guess is Cream Legbar Cockerels. Due to the head tuft and barring. But their shanks are grey with very slight feathering. I got them from an assortment of rare breeds by Meyer Hatchery.
CL cockerel? Or another...
in picture 1. Is what I believe is my olive egger. In picture 2 is what I believe is my lakeshore egger. In picture 3 is what I believe is my cream legbar. In picture 4 is my frost white legbar. They are 18 1/2 weeks old. I am thrilled that all three have crests but I am not positive who...
Hi all! First post on this fab forum
So we have a little flock with a cream legbar rooster some cream legbar hens, a maran and bluebelle.
We are literally hatching as I type and just wondering if anyone can advice on the genetics and passing down the sex linking gene when he is crossed with...
I’m looking for any French Black Copper Maran breeders near me. I live in Western Massachusetts so I’d love to learn about any breeders in Mass, Upstate New York, or Vermont—even if they don’t breed Marans. Does anyone know? Thanks!
We just acquired a cream Legbar hen that's about a year and a half old. Previous owner said she was aggressive with her sisters and he could no longer handle it so he wanted to re-home her. I couldn't say no to adding her to our flock because she's gorgeous and her eggs would look great with the...
Our second Legbar hatched today and I was wondering whether it is a boy or a girl because it’s slightly more yellow than the “normal” Legbar
What do you think?
I bought 10 straight run “sapphire” chicks, a Crested Cream Legbar cock over Leghorn hens. At about 2.5 weeks now and I have 6 which are clearly getting named Foghorn, Soup, Soup, Stew, and I’ll have to pick another Keeper name... they all have large, bright single combs. The three clear pullets...
I'm new to chickens, about 2 years in now, I just have a question for funsies. I recently ordered a mixed batch of eggs, three of which were 55 Flowery, and they were huge round eggs (all three bigger than average). First question, is that normal for 55 flowery?
I also have a few cream legbars...
So I have a CL roo and CL hens to breed but,
I read somewhere that autosexed golden comets when you breed golden comets together you don’t get a golden comet chick.
Is this true? And does this happen with CL too? Or would I be able to get auto sexed cream legbar chicks?
Ok. I blew it. I know to use Welsummers now, but that doesn't help with the chicks I have. Can sex because they are all black. If one gets a crest, that would make it a pullet - right? I think that because some are starting too and I'm thinking that might be the dominant trait from dad. At...
I have (6) cockerels that need to be rehomed. I found homes for two of them at this time, but need to find homes for the rest. They are black copper marans/cream legbar mixes. About 4 months old. Just starting to crow and messing with my hens.
I just got four - 4 week old chicks last week. 2 - Cream Crested Legbars, 1 - Olive Egger and 1 Welbar. When I got the chicks home I did notice one chick (one of the CCL's) was smaller but thought maybe it was just younger. Now 1 week has gone by and it really doesn't seem like this chick is...
