Cream Legbar Working Group: Standard of Perfection

So far so good Walady! It's hard to tell a keeper though, based on anything other than down color, until they reach maturity. I've even seen some breeders wait until over 1 year old to choose their breeders. Best wishes with your boy!

thanks for taking a look.

Well, my Cream Legbar pair was attacked and killed by a neighbors pit bull so my project is on hold til I get more at the end of the month.
Had just let them out to take a few pics with my Bresse and while in the house loading the pics onto the computer a neighbors dog quietly came over and butchered my pair of Cream Legbars and 11 Bresse. I didn't hear a thing and neither did my dog who normally watches over the the birds while out on pasture, followed me in the house and I thought nothing of it. Oh the woulda, shoulda, couldas............
I did get a picture of the pair and still wanted


input of the group, bought this pair on RBA as a Crested Cream Legbar pair. The roo looks like a Roadbar hen to me.

You are right that one in front is NOT a Cream Legbar. The female in the back is quite dark but most likely still Cream Legbar. Sorry you lost your birds like that. Dogs are the ONLY predator we have ever lost birds to. But now you have to make a fresh start with the Cream Legbars hopefully you can get better stock!

AmericanBreese,

I'm so very sorry to hear about the dog attack on your chickens.
There just aren't words.

 

[AmericanBresse]

The dog has been caught some people are just jerks, thought I wanted to shoot the dog til I met the owners.......mark

 

[lonnyandrinda]

Yikes. Hope you warned the owners of the consequences if it happens again. And check with your local authorities, by law they may be required to pay for your livestock killed by the dog.

I tthink the legbar at the front seems to be growing well and looks like she may well be able to be q show chicken, what do people think? Im in the uk

 

[lonnyandrinda]

She's got a nice start, but I think it's too early to tell whether you will be able to show with her. Just handle her a lot for now so she won't be afraid of handling later at shows- just in case.

I'd say give her another 6-8 weeks and then you will have a better idea.
