Congrats on the first eggs!!! The color and size are very nice.

Thank you! I was hoping there would be a noticeable variation between the Isbar and CL.
Is there a chart to see if it come close to the ideal in a CL?

Thats where Im stuck trying to get going Ive had poor hatch rates and a number of birds with lots of flaws.

Walt do you know a relatively local CLB person here in CA? Of the birds Ive tried so far I think I like Rebecca's ( @CackleJoy
 ) females the best.

Im probably going to just start with what I have and hopefully I can get something out of them but Im not holding my breath. 

I would probably recommend getting a better start but if you start with what you have I can maybe help you make some decisions.

Finally, my CL laid her first egg. I 'think' it is a nice color. This my first CL hen. It is a very good size for her first egg and I am so pleased. I put it beside the Isbar egg which has also just started laying.

Here is the comparison in colors.


CL is 27 wks.

That looks like a really nice start to your CL collection =)

Thank you. I am really enjoying them as a breed. Even the rooster is very mellow.
Not as mellow as the Isbars, but still very friendly and easy to keep.

I second this.

@caychris If you decide to work with what you have, remember to cull hard and the effort might just pay off.

Do you any up to date pictures of your stock?

They are just too cute!!! Congrats on the new additions. Where are you located? Maybe someone on this thread will be near you and have a male from good stock to supply you.

Do you happen to have another picture of the chick on the far left, a side view and a top view? Im just curious.
