I have two birds that are 3/4 silkie and 1/4 cream legbar. Wondering if anyone knows what color pattern they are. As babies I thought they would be partridge as they had black stripes on their backs and spots on their head. One is very light cream (almost white) with black striping on wingtips...
We have a ten week old cream legbar we purchased from Meyer Hatchery. She was always lazy when we took her outside before they permanently moved outside. The last week or two I have grown more and more concerned about her laziness and realized she was very wobbly when she walks. She is able...
My daughter pointed out one of our leg bars “Rona“ was making a wheezing sound this morning and not leaving the coop. I went out to look and she indeed was wheezing slightly and acting sluggish. I removed her from the other chickens and gave her freshwater and feed in a separate cage. I’m going...
Hey everyone, I’m new here, but not new to chickens, just getting back to having a flock again, and have a rooster that I am not certain what he is. Picked him up as a bogo chick days coastal farm supply. I think he is a cream legbar or a golden crele maybe? He is about 3 months old. He doesn’t...
Hi, I noticed today that our scatty legbar chicken was slow and didnt panic when I went near her so picked her up and noticed a big swelling underneath her.
I cant feel anything hard like an egg in it, but I bathed her and have tried to snuggle her in case she's egg bound.
She last laid two...
Hello I've recently had some legbar chicks, they hatched 2 days ago! They are legbars and I'm having some trouble sexing them as they are meant to be able to be sexed by there colour! I've attached a picture, any help would be amazing!😊🐤🐣
The above chick was sold to us as a female ameracauna. I think it might be a cream legbar. Any thoughts?
what do we think about this being a female production red? female
the only thing I've found about this color pattern is that they might be hyline chicks...? any info about these? female...
These chicks were sold to us sexed as pullets. The yellow one was supposed to be a cream leg bar, however, I think it's more like a leghorn. any thoughts? the brownish one I believe is a barnevelder. This is not their normal set up, I was taking two at a time out on this towel with some food and...
Will all types of marans rooster crossed with legbar hen produce sex link chicks? I’ve got splash and birchen marans roosters over legbar. 4 hatched so far, no white dot. I’m not that lucky, right?
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...

I’m a complete newbie; starting out with 8 chicks, hatched 11/4/2019. I wanted a variety and thought it would be fun to figure out what they were from a couple of the Meyer’s assortments. I ordered 3 from the production pack, 2 from the rare assortment, 2 from the rainbow assortment and also...
Purchased my first purebred chickens!! A pair of cream legbars that I have named Thelma & Louise. They are currently 10 weeks old and originated from the states (we are in Ontario).
I am a complete rookie, but would love to know if they would be dubbed "show quality". Any insight would be...
I recently ordered a Cream Legbar from Meyer Hatchery.
My shipment came in today and it looks like this (yellow):
This looks significantly different than the photo on their website:
Did they send me the wrong bird?
I can tell this was the Legbar because it has the matching leg band stated...
Hi all, this little 3 week old’s Mom is a Serama Bantam, I think the Dad is my Appenzeller Spitzhauben, due to the grey legs, but I also have a Serama bantam cockerel, a pekin bantam cockerel and a Cream Legbar. What do you think?
Also, do you think hen or cockerel?
TL;DR: things are happening!
This is Maizie.
Maizie is a silkie.
Maizie is broody. Not a surprise.
I have chicks inside from Cackle that are in isolation after being mailed, as well as 3 incubators of eggs waiting to hatch. Due to my... egg-aquiring opportunities, this will be a staggered...
Hi All, my cream legbar has had all sorts of egg problems. She began laying and everything was normal for about a month then the quality of the eggs declined. Most were soft or semi soft breaking when I took them out of the box. She then started having them get stuck. She had two soft eggs get...
I hatched white legbar, Black Copper Marans and silkie cockerels. I am planning on keeping 3 silkies, one BCM and the white legbar in a separate coop/run from the girls. They were hatched together and brooded together for a couple of weeks. However, they are now in separate brooders (silkies in...
Hey there chicken people,
I recently ordered chicks from McMurray Hatchery. I ordered 5 Whiting True Blues, 5 Welsummers, and 5 Cream Legbars. They threw in a free mystery chick as well. I received only 13, three less chicks than expected, and with the mystery chick and three missing, I'm...
