I had Beetov-Hen and her sister Hen-Rietta for six years. Sis outlived her by a year and a half. Such lovely animals
As youngsters (approx one yr up to 3 yrs old) Legs have been lovely here but noticed going into her 4th yr our White Leg started getting testy w/ other flock members (was her reproductive reputation kicking in to make her ornery, was she just getting old & crotchety, etc etc)?
We liked our White Leg pullet so much we got two Buff Leghorns from a breeder who bred Buff Legs from the Danne Honour line. Danne was project breeding his Buffs to lay more whitish eggs rather than brown. Danne never said (& I never asked) what Buff cross-breed he used to get Buff Legs but since the egg shells were light brown I assumed he had used Buff Orps somewhere in his breeding project. Hard to find Buff Legs now. The Sand Hill Preservation Farm had Buff Leghorns years ago but buffalo gnats killed off their Buff flock & decimated a rare turkey breed but happily they've restarted their Buff Leg flock again. Sand Hill in Iowa is amazing at preserving rare poultry i.e. like Dorking, Barred Holland, Penedesenca, 13 Leghorn varieties, 12 Orpington colors, Scots Dumpy, etc etc etc.

Anyway I gave one of our Buff Leg pullets to a friend's laying flock & the Buff was ok w/ other laying breeds like Marans, Australorp & Buff Orps, Easter Eggers, Olive Eggers, etc. When our 4 yr old White Leg & one-yr-old Buff Leg started bullying our gentle Silkie & timid Ameraucana we donated our two Legs to our friend's backyard layer flock who already possessed the first Buff Leg we donated to them. It was sad giving up our Legs but obviously we couldn't donate our little Silkie & timid Ameraucana to a flock owner of larger more aggressive layer breeds. At least our two Legs got rehomed together & we got to visit them often just around the block from us.
I hope you can eventually find the Lt Brown Legs you love. Check out Sand Hill or a Midwest hatchery next year. This season is pretty much done for shipped birds but put in an early order now for next Spring. Some hatcheries will ship as few as a 3-chick order
Hard for her to do without hands.
I am besotted with them, wonderful breed. They are all about ten weeks old both the SFH’s and silkies. SFH’s POL is 6-7 months, much like the silkies they take a little longer on average to fully mature. The 8 silkie (4 blue & 4 cukoo) chicks are due to arrive next week!
