Hi,
My name is Jessica Reynolds and I live in Round Rock, Texas. I used to raise dairy goats, first in 4-H and then as an open competitor, for about 15 years. I also had pigs, a couple horses and some chickens. Now as an adult, I want to have animals to teach my young kids about life on the farm. I started with 5 pullets this summer and lost one a few weeks ago. Her death helped me discover that I had a mite infestation, so I treated my birds and made some changes (added a sand and DE dust bath area). I am enchanted with rainbow eggs and so far have a Olive Egger, an Easter Egger, a Black Copper Marans, and a White Leghorn. However, I am already looking forward to the future of my flock and am interested in becoming a Cream Legbar breeder. I am researching breeders and plan to start with a few hens and a roo and build up my flock, then trade out the roo so I'm not crossing dad to daughters. Anyways, I have big plans. Any suggestions on Cream Legbar breeders in Texas? It is worth getting stock from Greenfire Farms or should I go with a more small time breeder? Any breeders have consistent blue laying lines rather than blue green or green? I'd appreciate any advice.
I am looking forward to learning more, as I've been lurking and learning.
Thanks, Jessica
