Cream Legbars

[lawatt]

I have talked to people in Sacramento, Davis, Petaluma, and Novato with Cream Legbars. If you want to get started sbirds checking the local classified might be a good place to start. I just searched n the Sacramento Craig's List and four different listings for Cream Legbars came up. If you want are looking for something that you can't find locally (i.e. Cream color, straight combed cockerels, large eggs, large crests, unrelated pairs, etc.) lots of people are shipping hatching eggs. Fewer people are shipping live birds, but if that is want you are lookling for, then yes their are people on this thread that can ship live birds too.

Deann in Novoto may have some available -- here's her website:

Hi everyone with Cream Legbars laying eggs now and having the Online Auction Color chart----

Who has hens or pullets laying OAC 214 or bluer?

We have gotten a couple that were 213 or 214 from Rachael's birds. Mine are still not laying yet-at 6-7 months!

Has Jett laid an egg yet?

I finally broke down and ordered a chart. Some of my pullet eggs are still sitting on the counter, so I will measure them and then again later when the hens have been laying for a while.

I have one lone egg pipped in the incubator out of 6 shipped. Wish I had a broody!

Well, one has to be the first to pip (I typoed pop) --- Hope you get all 6!

On mine, I saw a little girl peeking out from under my CL broody. She did it!! May be a few more there -- This girl was dry and fluffed and bright eyed. Such a relief to have the hen do all the work. And now she will be there to take care of them and regulate their temperatures. No need for a brooder box, heat source, electricity.

Hope we both have more in the pipeline. (I didn't move her to see what's under right now.... I just admired her). So happy and relieved. Yea (Amazing) Grace - Thanks Curtis for selling me those fertile eggs - Hope everyone has good hatches.

There was a club for delinquent hens....and I think that Anne's Jett is the only one left in the club. I got three POL pullets from Craigs List -- and just when I was saying they were the 'sorriest chickens I had ever had' -- and began to discuss with them recipes for chicken stew, chicken noodle soup, chicken pot pie....they all produced a pullet bullet. I got a chick today....from my one-winged pullet who went broody, so I got her hatching eggs from Curtis. She just started laying in Feb. and now she's a mother hen. Love a broody -

How was Fancy Feathers in Ohio?? ;o)

Oh -- and everyone -- TAKE loads of pictures.... babies, moms and babies -- cute chick close-ups.

Here are the two girls out for some socializing (hatched last Saturday/Sunday from eggs about OAC 123)

Agatha is quite adventuresome and Beatrix is more mellow. Very cute little chickies!

That last pic is sooooooooooo cute!!!

My newly laying pullet has been laying every day this week which I wasn't expecting! I just hope the roo mates with her soon. Either that or I just haven't seen it.

Thanks! -- I'm also wondering if the less blue colors mean more frequent egg-laying. anyone else know their colors??

My OAC is on order...I have seven sisters (I purchased from Phage in San Diego). Their eggs are a range of blues, from light to medium to a hint of green. Some are the same color as my Wheaten Ameraucana. The Ameraucana egg has a shinier shell than the CCL, although some are sort of waxy, others are just smooth, while others have a very flat matte finish. When they are wet, the color range stays the same, but more intense.

I have one light blue layer that produces almost every day, the other light blue is a little less frequent. In general they are all laying 4 to 6 days/week. The pullets are 6 months old, their eggs average between 42 and 52 grams. So there is quite a range in closely related layers; their crests and dose of cream varies as well.
