I will do! Although my silkies aren’t providing the goods, Cream Legbars chicks will do

I’m hatching them for my mam as she’s always wanted blue egg laying chickens after she sold her ducks. It’ll be a nice change actually being able to sex them right away!

I’ve been reading on breeding for resistance against respiratory diseases. I’d like to hatch some blue partridge Brahma chicks by breeding my blue partridge rooster to one of the partridge hens but I’m not planning on doing that anytime soon.
I definitely won’t be selling any of them because that would just be wrong.

Is your flock still suffering from respiratory disease?! Never know it to stay for long!

I love creme legbars such a wonderful breed!

They’re not showing any symptoms anymore, it was pretty bad when it started late last year and it seems to become less as time goes on.
I can’t find anywhere that will test them but I’m happy enough to keep them as a closed flock.

That's a shame! Your flock is gorgeous!

I’m on my way into work...wish me luck

The shelves will be bare, no self isolation with chickens for me.
