Cream Legbars

[iPickYupik]

I got mine from Jeff(Papa's Poultry). He is very good. He ships on time and usually sends extras.  I ordered 6 CL and he sent me 2 extra Rhodebars who are rather nice.  I was pleased with my birds. And have ordered more eggs in Feb.  He has at least 3 pens of Cream Legbars. So getting unrelated birds is not difficult. He also carries the Rees line . He is working on bringing out the cream in the birds. So if this is want you want he would be a good choice.

How is his egg color? Like Fire, I don't have the time space to dedicated to growing out and helping better the breed but I would really like a couple more that would lay really blue eggs. Mine from ChicKat is still waiting to lay and then it sounds like my friends extra chicks from Meyer will not lay the color I'm looking for. :/ Thanks for your feedback Fire Ant!

I want to try a expierment, what would happen if I cross a CLB with a barred rock?

Ironically, Tim's eggs were sky blue. I wouldn't have considered them green. The other eggs I'm hatching out right now, the Rees line eggs, also blue and no mistaking them for green or green tones. However the Line C hen's eggs. A touch of almost green to them. Still blue though in some of them. Just some food for thought. I'd do some shopping, I'm sure the egg shade you seek can be found or close to it.

These are Black Walnut Farm's eggs. I take no credit for their photo, but nothing shows the shade difference more clear than this. The majority of my eggs were the far right shade. I would personally call that green?



Update: 4 pullets out I believe. I'm waiting for them to fluff up. None look "yellow" to me, unless their line isn't as easy to figure out.

Almost all of mine are like the one in the center most days, with occasional days where they are like the one on the right. Or in-between. It really does come and go, interestingly. All pretty, though!

You can sex the chicks by the head spot . They should look like barred rock chicks . Black will tend to overpower other colors .

Hi I'm desperately looking for auto-sexing chickens the produce mint green eggs. I read the cream legbars do, but have been so,far unsuccessful in my attempt tp secure hatching eggs. Thus I'm putting it out there that I want them and will pay for them 12 eggs come this March. Below is the color I want.

She is one of my darker pullets. I'm counting on them laying pretty blue eggs, hopefully not green. I saw some of the eggs they came from when I went to pick them up. I could kick myself for not taking a pic of them. They were such a pretty blue, almost robin egg blue to me.

Do you think they'll lay blue or green eggs?

I thought this was an interesting cross Bielefelder and Cream Legbar.

I have that mix and am hoping she lays olive. I also have Ameraucana/CL cross and a marans/CL cross. I was told by the marans breeder that her CLs eggs are too light and the mix will lay brown. :/

That looks like my CLxMarans crosses. I really enjoy the variety of olive egg colors from the different mixes.

Green. I would expect the egg production to increase, wonder how consistent the body shape/size will be.
The feathers should be distinctly barred.
