Is Fugly too big, now?

Not too big, no. We want eggs and meat and my girls aren't very big. Since females determine the size of the offspring, I need bigger girls.

Fugly has grown too big for the pop door though, so hubs has to make a bigger one.

Those 2 nn/cclb pullet's that I have been growing out are already bigger than the cclb momma's.

Are you keeping them? Do they have naked necks?

What does lb in cclb stand for?
Of the two that hatched from you, Jacob finally was able to pick up the roo so I only have Pepper left.... She's a smallish hen, but she has a lot of personality, she makes a good addition to my small (7hen) flock

Legbar is the lb in cclb.

Yep. Cream Creasted LegBar.

Are you keeping them? Do they have naked necks?

Yes, I'm keeping them. Both of the nn/cclb pullet's are naked neck with bib's and crest's, and black leg's. They are both white colored in feathering with a few scattered black feather's throughout the white. I'm waiting for them to start laying to see what color of egg that they will throw. @Suzyqschickens has one of the mother's to them, as I sold Miss Foofy to her.

@nicollee I'm glad that Pepper is working out for you. CCLB is for Crested Cream Legbar. The 3 that I had were laying blue egg's. I only have one of those left here now that I haven't sold yet. She's just getting over her molt, and all of her pretty feather's are coming back.

If your new incubator is a 24 count, then even 5 egg's laid a day would give you 30 egg's after 6 day's. That would more than fill it for you!

Yeah.. as long as the girls keep picking up the speed, should not be a issue, I'll look at buying some fertile eggs or trading some with a couple of people here that I know that have "mutts" one friend sells hers as a "dozen" for 2.00 per, another friend, I gave him one of my roo's from my first hatch so he had new blood in his group, can trade him some of mine for some of his..just to introduce new blood in to my flocks gene pool. I'm not hatching to get certain traits, only traits I'd like to duplicate is the egg laying..lol, my sex links are great layers, from what I've read, it's up to 300 per year, so we shall see, right now the hatching is to help a couple of friends get their flocks going, one had to give her's up because of hitting a financial bad spot, the other lost his to a coyote attack. Both are wanting the hens for eggs.

I can understand that. I'm also looking for a new NN roo for new blood. All 4 of my NN hen's are laying egg's, and so are my 2 mixed green laying girl's. The 3 Breese hen's have been on egg laying vacation for 2 week's now.

Unfortunately, no blue eggs, small beige almost white egg. Was hoping they would get bigger, but it's been about two weeks, and she lays almost every day... same size. They are very cute.... My older EE's lay sporadically, so out of 7 hens I'm getting 3-4 a day .
Though, I may be losing some to the tortoise den, I found a clutch we had to dig out of there.
I don't know why, but I thought you had told me cornish cross, I was very confused...
