I bought eggs in LA.

Wow, you had a great hatch. I've never had such luck.

Does anyone know why it is taken so long for my cock bird to grow back his tail feathers.

I noticed on another thread you have extra boys to rehome. Do you have any current pictures to post? If not on this thread, maybe the other Cream Legbar threads?

If you are thinking to keep some boys for breeding, you may want to keep a few for at least a year as they develop differently. Although color doesn't change much once the saddle feathers come in.

How long is so long? Compared to other roosters you have?

I am not keeping any roosters, none allowed for me.

Hmmmm no new feathers showing up? My Jack will look rumpless for 2-3 weeks but then the main tail and lesser sickles come in. Seems like it takes the whole 8 weeks or so to get the upper sickles though.
