Cream Legbars

[OneMountainAcres]

Dome skull should be renamed empty skull, poor birds. Their lack of vision makes them helpless idiots, the big crested breeds.

That's so true but at the same time, I've seen some remarkable listening skills! My goofy polish cockerel has a crazy Crest and can't see anything but, he can hear that back garage door open from across the yard and will come running, full speed, up the step, around the door and up on the feed buckets to clean them up lol. He can't see much but you can tell he's listening when you talk to him. I love that goofy bird!

Good luck at the fair!

Just thinking out loud -- Not sure if this happens with people who have blue egg layers -- but my purebred Blue Wheaten Ameraucana (my avatar pic) layed pretty sky blue eggs but if her eggs sat out in our egg skelter on the kitchen counter the air seemed to cause the blue color to eventually oxidize into a greenish tint after a few short hours. It's possible your egg shipment started out as blue eggs when first layed but eventually oxidized into the greenish eggs you ultimately received. Putting our blue eggs immediately into the fridge didn't seem to preserve the blue color either as it seems the air itself is what triggers the oxidation and not the temperature of the air. Anyone else notice this phenomenon?

Yes, he just got them in the mail that way. The green tinted ones are a different line from what he has. I used to have birds that layed bluer eggs, but the bluer egg layers started having shell gland problems and my green tinted girls did not, so now I'm stuck with greenish tinted blue eggs...
Chooks man, mine are the AB line import group. I believe there are now 4 lines? AB, (AB) C, Rees, and a newer show line that I'm unsure about, here in the United States. How many lines are there in Australia?

OZ lines are a mixture of old english lines from Western Australia. most of them come from one Lady .rooster from this line luking the shoulder colour .
than few small chooks from different person apeared .this line has a pie comb .roosters from this line have a well coloured body and shoulder .
the third line come from Victoria state .big chooks ,the one I had before . they where from the US line . big blue eggs . roosters from this line are all golden .
the latest new lines are from the new import from UK . a lot peoples are not impressed about them because of the grinish egg .

Tomorrow I m sending 2 CLB pullets to the person who sold me the eggs . trying to work together .the hens from me .the cockerel from him .the next year I ll get some chooks or eggs from him .we are trying to work together to fix one line .

I just got my first olive egg this morning, from a CLxBCM cross pullet. My CL pullets mostly lay very blue eggs, one lays slightly blue-green tinted. The olive is a beautiful addition!
