Cream Legbars

[GaryDean26]

Cream is both a color description and a genetic term....


Here is a photo that I took a while back that shows the difference between Cream and Gold. These are half sisters from the same hatch. The pullet on the top is gold and the one on the bottom is Cream.

Mr. C does a great job of taking comparison pics! I'm so glad that he was able to help you!

I am sorry. A big thank you to all involved in helping me understand the difference. I saw GaryDean26. Did not see Mr. C. I tried to quote the post but it wouldn't work.

GaryDean=Mr. C, sorry for the confusion! Best wishes for a great day!

My little Stormy managed to get out of the coop and run today. That was really fun trying to catch her to get her back in with her sisters. They're not exactly socialized yet. I did catch her though and cuddled her for a minute (it's a bit chilly today for 7 week olds) and put her back with her sisters.

Glad you caught her. I find Cream Legbars nearly impossible to catch lol. You should see DH and I trying to catch all the CL cockerels once they are mature enough to head to the freezer. We are a sight that is for sure. CL are very friendly chickens but I find mine (even though very socialized) are a bit on the flighty side.

Oh, man, I thought it was just mine.

Nearly impossible to catch. Right now they're "cooped" up in their (admittedly big) coop and run, until I have a ranging paddock setup that I am more confident will contain them. On the other hand, the Naked Necks and New Hampshires come up to me and let me pick them up.

I still find my cream leg bars quite friendly - it's just that they are like cats that way. Exactly like trying to catch a cat when you need to give her medication (vs. them coming and sitting on your lap JUST when you don't want them too...). Too smart for their own good.

Cats. They're the cats of the chicken world.

My adult CL Sky is very friendly and easy to catch and right now, Sunny, the 12 week old cockerel will come right up to me. North were extremely flighty babies. Maybe it takes a bit of maturity to calm them down. I'm hoping my 3 girls ease up and calm down soon.

OK, so MINE are the cats of the chicken world.
