Cream Legbars

[ChicKat]

When I let the chickens out to free range today, my #2 CL pullet was following along behind me and kept stopping to squat down. I finally got behind her and she was laying an egg! Poor little thing must be a little bewildered by what is happening to her. I wish she would figure out the nest box! Same color as the first one, at least I know who is laying. I weighed this egg and it is 45 grams.

congrats!!

I don't but maybe I should. I have never had a problem before but no one else is really laying right now so maybe she isn't getting much guidance. I will pop something in the boxes and see if that helps.

We use golf balls with the bantams and Easter eggs with the LF

Im trying to do a chicken color calculator...i cant copy paste the link. U can google it if u want...i am trying to use my only crested cream legbar pullet to make f1 olive eggers. I have a black copper, a blue, a cuckoo, and a wheaten Marans cockerels...im trying to see the possibilities of colors from any of these crosses. On the color calculator it has the space for the color of the female.....what is the color of a crested cream legbar?

Hi bamadude, are you talking about Henk's chicken calculator?

If we are talking about the same calculator....

Start with the default (gold-duck wing) aka wild type -
on your female select the barring gene B
and -- when you get to the Ig/Ig -- you want to change that to ig/ig -- If you are a member of the Cream Legbar Club -- there is a whole article about the Chicken Calculator in one of the older newsletters -- if you aren't a member -- PM me and I will go search it out and send you a copy.

Your offspring will be crested --
