It's fun to have them getting so big! If you are going to set up breeding pens think carefully about the pairings as I see a LOT of incorrect gold hackles versus the correct cream. If done carefully it is possible to breed them back to cream.

Hello! This is my first ever post on BYC; I joined 2 days ago. I have ordered 6 Cream Legbar chicks from Greenfire to start my flock but don't know when I will be able to OK the shipping due to the extreme heat wave here in Central CA. I would like to learn about this breed and be a part of this group.

If you haven't found it already, the Cream Legbar thread has some great information as well. They are funny, curious birds and I am enjoying my 3 immensely - as well as learning (and planning) for what I should breed for if we ever move!

For now, I just learn what I can and wait for eggs from my city chickens!

Hope this heat wave snaps soon.

Thank you lonnyandrinda. Its been a rough time trying to isolate some cream. I really hope the color doesn't come in to much. I have some showing rusty color and yellowish gold in the hackles as well as a black breasted pullet showing some weird neck hackles. they are posted on the cream legbar thread. this guy is my main hopes for cream right now.

Question about your group photo... the golden pencil marked chickens... what are they? They look just like my juvenile gold Partridge Brahma hens!
