Cream Legbars

Is anyone selling? I will take full grown or whatever you have if your selling. I would like chicks more then anything. I'm in Wisconsin. Thanks

The Cream Legbar club website has a list of breeders near you, as well as breeders that will ship.
Do you already have Cream Legbars or other breeds?

Have no breeds I'm a newbie to chickens

You can get Cream Legbars from Greenfire Farms. Greenfirefarms.com Or the rare breed auction. Welcome to chickens. You picked a great breed to start with but truthfully they are all wonderful!

Thanks! And yes, well, "song" is a generous term for it...

She caught a small frog today - walked around with it dangling from her mouth for the longest time (including several games of successful keep-away with the cockerel) before figuring out how she wanted to eat it. More yummies to make eggs!!!!

My convertor tells me that's about 53g - that's pretty big! Paula's are almost all 50g so far. I also would love to know about the app (did I miss this?).

Yep, since I didn't have the nifty machine that the scientistis that tracked the effect of carotenoids on blue eggshell color -- I decided to get a phone ap - - - or is it app.....

Bugger - can't find that for iPhone. (I'll look around for something similar, no luck so far.)

I have to admit - I ordered some dried calendula petals on Amazon - they were part of an interesting Chicken Chick recipe anyway, but I am also hopeful for more blue to my eggs. That being said, I am beginning to question my expectations. When I look at my girls' eggs day by day, they actually look to be a pretty pale blue to me, with a bit of a green tinge. They are not robins egg blue, granted, but I really do wonder if my expectations were at all reasonable. These eggs are fairly blue to my eyes in natural light. I have shown photos to (non chicken) friends, and they all identify them as blue. I think I'm being over critical of their color. Of course, getting an accurate photo color representation is so tough...

Egg color is HARD (says chicken farmer Barbie...)

(Side note - I would pay GOOD MONEY for a Chicken Farmer Barbie - I'd give one to my niece and keep one for myself...)

I went to the playstore on my phone and downloaded free app called Color Capture and Identifier. Thanks..... I never knew these apps existed. I really like it!

I downloaded it too and also color splash. THAT'S a neat app that I'll be playing with a lot. Not a cream legbar, but cool effects

Dried calendula petals? Do tell me more. As to egg color most of the CL eggs I have seen, both in pics and personally have been a blue with a green tinge. You wouldn't mistake them for an Amer. blue egg in the box. I think that nature intended a slightly different color just for variety. After all who wants just blue eggs when you can have white, green, brown etc.?
I want Chicken Farmer Barbie too. But only if she has accessory chickens

. You know Hasbro would give her a plain white sorta leghorn chicken.
