Yay! A breed focus I have!

I just hatched 7 Legbars on 2/12/21 with my first attempt with shipped eggs! I’ve very excited! Eggs came from Foxfire Farms. I set 22, 11 CCL and 11 Silverudd’s Blue (Isbars) and hatched out 7 of each! Someday I hope to have Ice Cream Bar chickens!

My CL are quite prolific egg layers. I have both production and Rees line and mix them because my roo is Rees.One younger hen in her first season (which started last summer) has been laying non stop all winter. Her eggs started as blue green but are mostly white right now. This is one of her daughters whose sad fate had her hatch in a small clutch with all cockerels and she hasn't found her flock nitch

Sweet girl showing off her laying skills. Not a consistent layer. Lucky if she lays 2 eggs per week. She is a gentle, chatty hen.

All my legbar hens like to perch on my arm. Yeah, they are little flighty, but still very friendly. I have Reese Line legbars. They are late to lay, but lay very well even at a older age. Very beautiful too.

My city just adopted a new ordinance allowing chickens. We can have up to six hens. I've located a small local breeder who will provide me some 8 week old pullets at $10 each. He has Crested Cream Legbars, Wheaten Marans, Bielefelders, and a CCL x marans cross for green eggs. I think I'll get one of each. The other two hens I'm thinking about are a Lavender or Partridge Orpington and either a Blue Laced Red Wyandotte or Golden Laced Wyandotte. I'm so excited about getting the Legbar that I almost joined the CCL club.

I have my first (hatchery stock) Cream Legbar pullet this year and she is adorable! Despite being hand raised and her “sisters” (non-Legbars raised with her), I do see the Legbar personality coming through, as she does not like to be handled too much, but does hop on my lap and come to me for “protection”. She was first of this year’s chicks to decide it was time to roost with the big girls and is pretty assertive for a low-ranked bird. Sadly, I don’t have great recent photos.

As a chick:
