Oooo - I am hatching my first eggs on NYD. They are shipped. Then I need to work on scaring up some Crested Cream Legbar eggs to hatch. I hope you have a fun time with your baby chicks

Good luck on the hatching ! And please keep me posted on the Cream Legbars ?! I don't even have my 1st chicks but seeing this breed recently has me all giddy to add them to mine in the future.
Thanks.

Steen might be a good resource for CCL's. He raises them.

those are my two cream boys i got from my original golds.

she hatched out some crosses

 

[Whoops]

Steen, would you be interested in selling any fertile hatching CCL eggs? I would really like to get some local, unshipped ones. I only have the tiny incubator (it holds 7 eggs, max)

Do you ever have pure CCL chicks ?

 

[Whoops]

(Poor Steen will probably hide from us and our enthusiasm)

 

[CibolaChooks]

Why do you say that. Whats the poor thing all about. As soon as they start laying i can. Between winter and molting im not getting many now

 

[CibolaChooks]

Yeah i keep them pure. I have two pens with a pair each, cream males and two of my original hens. One cream and crested the other is close to gold and non crested but she has a nice tail earlobes and a straight cromb so shes worth breeding. My two original gold males run with the main flock so they have maid some crosses. I have two more hens ive keep from this years breeding im not sure who im putting them with but more than likely they will be with my original male with a straight comb so ill have 3 pens pure

 

[Whoops]

I was just laughing about how Sam3 and I were both intent on getting some CCL's. Nothing else was meant.

I would be very interested in some hatching eggs, when the CCL hens start laying again.

I'm thinking the one pen will give me all cream. The second pen I need to test that female to my cream male and see what the ratio of golds to creams she gives me. If i put the cream hen i kept this year with my original male i should get mostly creams and some golds, but shes going to make some really nice males.
