Cream Legbars

My guess is CL is the blue one on the left. You do have a nice set of colors there....

Sorry about your rooster...

Sure I'll play. Seems like most CL eggs I've had have been less oblong and more oval/blunted on the narrow end so that would be middle or left. So I'm going to have to go with Left Cream Legbar, Right Lavendar Am, Middle LavAmxCochin

How are your rooster's waddles looking?

x2 Sorry about the wattles

X2 I agree

I think the CL is on the left, Lav Am in middle and AmXCochin on the right

Thanks DA . I just used a dewormer that said not to use with hens laying eggs for consumption. They said to wait 2 weeks if you're going to eat the chicken..so I'm assuming after 3 weeks they should be edible again. Im only getting an egg a week from my ccl if im lucky. This spring i can probably give you some eggs. Or sooner if they start laying more

That would be lovely. Would give us more relatively local blood while making it easier to bring in something not completely removed from our own stock.

The suspense is killing me! Who is laying that pretty blue egg??????????

 

[CibolaChooks]

Lol. Its the ccl in the middle. Pure am on right . Am x cochin on the left

 

[CibolaChooks]

Im reeally surprised the two look so similar. The pure bred am is more turquoise

 

[ChicKat]

Lol. Its the ccl in the middle. Pure am on right . Am x cochin on the left

Could have fooled me. Oh, looks like you already did...LOL

For those who haven't seen the more subtle colored golds, the left hen is cream, the right hen is gold. She is so faintly gold you can't quite tell until you see her side by side with a cream. It's more noticeable high up on her neck near her face.

Lonnyandrinda,

The subtitle color are hard to see in photos. I am not sure if many people with be able to see in the photos what you see in the way of color distinction. The questions that keep coming up are telling be that too much is lost due to lighting and what not.

I tried to get the best distinction I could and here are the best photos I could capture. I hope that everyone else can see what I see. The gold pullet has a brown body, gold hackle, and red around the head while the Cream Pullets has a gray body (void of any brown), cream (off white) hackles, and no red around the head. They pullets are hatch mates out of the same cockerel.

on another subject, I also thought this photo was instructive. It is a Cream Legbar Pullet next to a Single Combed Light Brown Leghorn Pullet. They are also hatch mates. The Cream Legbar Pullet is from the same cockerel as the two pullets above. The Leghorn is obviously unrelated. The Brown Leghorn shows a lot of red down where the Legbar (who is likely going to be a Gold colored pullet) is a dark color with charcoal black in place of the red areas.
