Enola, I was curious and looked them up, and I am now enchanted by Cream Legbars! They seem to have everything I want. And what's not to love about that "big hair" do on the girls? It's great to hear they can be people friendly.
See if you can find a local breeder. I got "culls" from a local breeder. They breed their hens and when they get better quality young pullets, they will cull the older hens to make room for more breeding pullets.
Breeders? Here in the back of beyond? If I want anything more exotic than what one hatchery between New Mexico and Colorado has in their pathetic inventory, I have to look at mail order.
My Pet Chicken has Legbars, and yes, at almost $50 a pop, I plan on getting me a couple. Actually, they won't sell more than two to a customer, so they saved my wallet from empty nest syndrome. I think I'll fill out the order with four Silver Cuckoo Marans at $4.50 each. They require a minimum of six total to survive the shipment to Colorado.
I am excited! Thanks for helping me with this decision!
I didn't know Barred Rocks were easy to sex. I'll keep them in mind. Actually, Silver Cuckoo Marans remind me of Barred Rocks. Very pretty breeds, both. I love the feather patterns.
