Cream Legbars

[PaintsRule]

I will have to get pictures and post them to show what they look like. I didnt know much about the breed, just thought I wanted them to add to my breeds of autosexing, I now have 6 auto sexing breeds.

I heard that the correct egg colour for a Cream legbar is blue, and that greeny ones aren't correct? Am I right, or maybe it's just a UK thing, as US birds look a bit different.

In the UK, the PCGB list blue, green, and olive as colors for the eggs. In the U.S. draft standard we list blue or green as colors for the eggs.

Does anyone else's girls obsess over finding new places to lay? My Sky is notorious for starting hidden nests and she always talks other girls into it too. I just found another one yesterday! The first one was under my shed which she talked some young, newly laying ameraucanas into working on with her (I didn't even know those girls were laying yet!). I dug 15 eggs out of that one! The one I found yesterday only had 6 in it so far but her signature blue eggs were in there plus 3 brown eggs all under a couple pallets. I saw her searching through my coop shed yesterday for a new spot after I cleaned up the other nest. She's driving me crazy!

Chicken Pickin, no I meant that the body (other than the breast) is that darker slate grey color I have seen some that are lighter and some that are darker. The whole body, wings etc, is it supposed to be a darker slate grey or lighter?

Gray - Silver Gray would be ideal. Pictures might help to show what you are describing. With CL still being quite new there is still quite a bit of interpretation of the standard at this point. Someone elses ideal gray might not be the same ideal for you or me etc.

These are my pullets and my CL have bred pretty consistently this color gray so currently this is my ideal for me.

So cute! A more WInter hardy CL would come in handy for many peoples flocks I know I have battle frostbite for a while now.

Earlobe update: Lissa's earlobe was mostly back to white this morning (and the scratch is essentially healed). It must have been a bruise after all. (Very interesting that it would look like that!)

So glad she's healing well!

I selected these three pics for another illustration.  btw - thanks for the examples, no harm intended - I realize I don't have the benefit of more information, so thanks for offering this up.

Again, the first pullet has a clean arc from the neck, down the chest, through the legs, and back up to the tail.

So....does this mean Chickpea did ok in Ventura??? Of course my goal is always to just not be DQ'd!
