Hi I'm new I just got my first chickens which are a cross mix of a Maran and a cream leg bar. I have 3, called flappy ham( her thing looks like flappy ham) popcorn , and Pango. I built the cage myself on a low budget, got most of it for free, the wood the chicken wire, hay.
I've also got eggs...
Hi - we are considering expanding our flock with some Cream Legbars. I am reading mixed reviews on if they are cold hardy enough to tolerate New England / CT winters. In the winter we do have average temps in the teens, 20s and 30s during the day with drops at night into the teens. On occasion...
I went to a store and bought a couple chickens, was told two of them are cream Legbar and another Welbar. I can’t tell which is which and would like to know. Here’s it is at 5 weeks old and then as a baby chick (the one on left, black stripe down back) Also, it’s not a rooster right? First time...
Calling all experts! I really wanted a Welsummer, but now I am confused as to what these girls could be. I'm just a beginner so I have no idea...they all are so similar!
I got chicks back in September from Ace and was supposed to have gotten two cream legbars. They looked identical as chicks, so much so that I couldn’t tell them apart, but as the two pullets grew they started to look significantly different. They’re about 6 months now and neither have laid their...
My relatives have a flock of mixes. Just your basic laying hen with a single comb. Problem is that they're getting quite old and don't go broody anymore. Because of that, they're not getting any new young pullets. And with the local fox visiting and taking a hen every week or so, the flock is...
We have a few girls coming into lay right now. I’m expecting our olive egger and our CCL to lay within the next 3-6 weeks.
I checked both girls to see the width of their pelvic bones and the CCL, even though she is a month younger seems to have spread further apart… 2.5 fingers versus the 1.5...
I had a bad experience with Meyer and decided to go with MPC when ordering chicks this time around. But, I’m just now figuring out that the hatcheries are/were affiliated. The threads I saw are years old, so I’m here to ask if it’s possible that they’re not affiliated anymore?
Meyer forgot to...
My partner and I recently moved to Missouri in 2020 and finally just started our chicken family this year in 2022.
As of right now, we have our first 12 chickens: 2 cream legbars, 4 easter eggers, 3 speckled sussex, and 3 splash-laced red wyandottes.
We turned (are still turning) an extra, old...
Sooo many different amounts listed on websites… so figured I would ask here.
How many eggs per week does you CCL hen lay? ALSO, what size? And when did they start lying?
Thanks!
Pic for attention
This is our very first hatchling. First egg I ever candled, and then ended up being the first egg to hatch from our first ever clutch. Because this was the #1 egg and #1 hatch, we have dubbed them The One, Neo. I was told this one is a Cream Legbar.
So... Is this a Cream Legbar? If so, doesn't...
Pretty sure this one is a black Maran. Was sold as a pullet, but I’m thinking maybe not?
This one I have no idea. Hatched from. Blue egg. I thought maybe a cream leg bar? But it doesn’t look like any of the cream legbar chicks I have seen. It’s sister is in the background!
Thanks in...
Feathers missing from front of neck for 2-3 months, treated 3x with permethrin in the last 2mos for poultry lice around vent, no improvement of neck, no more poultry lice around vent. No bugs visible on neck. No lifting of leg scales. No other chickens with missing feathers. Can’t tell if others...
