Bella is coming along pretty nicely. Cant wait to get her in a show cage in Nov and Dec!

It was hot today so she was panting.

Very nice Kayla! She is Beautiful!

Thank you! Sometimes she holds her tail higher so I was worried it would be too high. But when she is relaxed its fine. Even if she doesnt win a ribbon I know she is a pretty girl.

Aww thank you! I sure hope they show well. I plan on taking them to the Appalachain Classic in November and the Dixie Classic in December. I have 2 Cream Legbar pullets and 2 Cream Legbar cockerels picked out also. I may not take them all, just the best 2 out of the 4 Legbars probably.

These arent the best pics of them. I havent taken a pic of the second cockerel yet. The other looks better and has a better crest/comb. His barring is darker too. But their type and tails are good for now. Once they mature over the next few months I will pick the best of them.

Sorry for derailing the thread with my Legbars, but who better to share my chicken pictures with than my friends on this thread.

My silkies don't do the Bator thing for me :/ I've only had 1 sit once and she gave up lol. My silver penciled rock girl takes care of things in that aspect though lol

I hope to have better luck. I got the silkie eggs from a broody line.

at the moment I have 3 broody hens and no room for more chickens. I think 2 of them are giving up but my araucana girl that hatched silkies insist on sitting again. it is too hot so I really don't know what to do with her.

I am not familiar with cream legbars but these birds are great! show them all and get 4 ribbons instead of 2!

Thank you! I've just been super busy with my summer class, work, chickens, and getting everything ready for my son to start Kindergarten. I could never leave our group. Im looking forward to the fall when everything hopefully settles down a little.
