In the bottom right photo are two chicks from this year: female on the left, male on the right. Notice how much lighter the male is. He also has a large white patch on his head, whereas the female has a small dot. And thanks, I think they're purty too.

Sorry to hear that the eggs arrived in horrible condition. Packing or handling?? I once sent a box of eggs to a customer and the box was damaged and eggs too. I complained: why couldn't a box supplied by the USPS stand up to USPS handling? I got the shipping cost back, but not the cost of the DC#. Take a picture first in case you want to pursue this when you are not so upset.

I collected three eggs again today. I now have six eggs and you still get whatever is laid Tuesday.


Male chick hatched Friday 06/01/2012.

Anyone want some Crested Cream Legbar eggs? I have one roo over three pullets. I collected three eggs yesterday (Sunday) plus you get whatever is laid today (Monday) and tomorrow (Tuesday). Eggs will ship on Wednesday. Should be a minimum of at least six eggs. If I can't get at least six eggs to ship by Wednesday, buyer can choose to receive 4 days worth of eggs or a future ship date.

Crested Cream Legbars are relatively new to the US. They were imported by Greenfire Farms who sold started juveniles last summer and fall, and sold day old chicks after that. This breed is autosexing, meaning that you can easily visually distinguish the boys from the girls at hatch, and this autosexing trait breeds true from generation to generation. Boys have a white spot to white blotching on their heads while female chicks have clearly defined chipmunk stripes. My male chicks have "fuzzy" chipmunk stripe with coloration ranging from dark brown to dark charcoal and various amounts of white on both head and body. My female chicks are uniformly consistent chestnut brown with darker chipmunk stripe down the back and no white anywhere.

I received my day old chicks directly from Greenfire Farms last November. My pullets began laying at 22 weeks. Only the first eggs laid were light sky blue. Now they are uniformly light mint green. I made a mint cheesecake with artificial green food color. These eggs remind me of that color only lighter. I'm probably way off on color as my memory is my downfall and I don't have a mint cheesecake right now to compare. Everyone else is describing these eggs as "sky blue" or "robin's egg blue". I guess I just don't see it that way. They are pretty eggs in any case.

Bidding starts at $50 and includes shipping. Auction ends 6/05/2012 at 8:00 pm Central.

OH NO!!!!! What happened????

These are the eggs once we unwrapped them. They were packed loosely and in a shopping bag. 4 were shattered....leaking all over. The packing outside of the shopping bag was newspaper folded up..... Just not sure they could stand whatever was done. I really feel badly.... maybe it's my own expectations? Maybe it's the fact that I've had such lovely eggs so far? The smell is still in my house..... and that's been 6 hours ago.
