Cream Legbars

Hubby & granddaughter were on a roll....... I added in Uncle Kracker once I saw the writing on the walls..... Perhaps we can do some egg swapping down the road. My girls are just getting ready to lay.

I'm in =)

How long should you wait after taking one roo out & introducing a new one to collect eggs for hatching?

I took my brahma boys away from the brahma girls and introduced a houdan cockeral.
I collected eggs from day 14 to day 23 to incubate. They all hatched out straight brahmas with no houdan blood at all.

I do this every year with no problems . How old are they now ? Any pictures ?

I just want to be sure that I only get purebreds. The crossbred roo that was living with her has been out for 2 weeks. She was in a molt & not laying. She began laying about a week after he was taken out. The new roo was introduced to her yesterday. We want to start incubating eggs from the new roo as soon as it is "safe".

I would say about another 6-7 days and you should be good to start collecting. Though 30 days might be best.

You could have cracked a few of their eggs before introducing the new male to be sure they were no longer fertile with the old male. Then introduced the new male.

I love the creamy buttery hackles on the left one but the cool silver gray tones on the right one are just great, her hackles may look a little "silverish" But I would be very interested in seeing what her offspring look like. Have you chosen her male you will pair with her yet?
