The yellow chick is what they look like when they hatch. By 4 weeks old you can tell roosters from hens. Legbars grow quick but mature slow.

I posted some new pics in my albums today. Some of them aren't great, but I'll keep adding to them. I still have a Lavender Ameraucana hen that hasn't cooperated, but I should be able to get one of her by the weekend. I put up pics of my young BLRWs...the cockerel is going to be huge and beautiful! Some of the pics were taken in the coop, so excuse the dustiness please. I have a heck of a time getting cobwebs off the walls too lol! The interior texture of the siding on the coop is very porous and "grippy". I painted it several times, but it still grabs dust and cobwebs. Oh, well.

I love their personalities, I have one pullet who decides at some point in the middle of the night or early in the morning that she's going to visit the run next door to hers (the whole set of runs is enclosed with wire but there is a space in-between the top of the panels and the wire, so every morning I find her next-door to where she's supposed to be. EVERY MORNING, lol. She's a clown but I also just really like how laid back and sweet they are

My last batch I hatched was something like 25% chicks were white. And I know for sure the hen that throws the whites is laying. I believe those older whites I posted were from that hatch.

I love mine. The hens are so curious. The rooster is a bit standoffish. That's because we've had our rounds. He knows his place now.
