Its been my experience that Legbars come in all personalities...my alpha girl is totally friendly and likes to be petted and held...my omega girl always comes to eat out of my hand and if the boys give her too much attention....My Original Roo was the best you could ask for....my current main Roo, I think will grow into a good one two...for my advise, get a few and see....

Very true, and generalizable to all breeds I think. I have a few Legbar roos that are so full of themselves they challenge my presence in their pen on a regular basis. Only one ever took to biting at the back of my pants, and he "is no more". I'm raising a bunch of roos so I can be choosey and hope to get at least one like yours. I used to think that I told them they were pretty too often and it made them "cocky", but I tell the Welsummers that even more and they remain humble in my presence, so that can't be it (or maybe the Welsummers don't understand English as well as the Legbars).

Anyway, personality is partially genetic, but I think more how they are brought up and how each bird thinks.

MINI COWS!!!!!

How about mini chickens ?
Or mini ducks?
They even have mini geese.
I wish someone would make mini peacocks, or really mini turkeys . . .

Aren't mini geese called ducks? I'd buy mini peacocks but not mini chickens.

I just don't have room for anything else

I was hoping for mini peacocks

Never knew mini geese were actually a thing.

Anyone want an 11 week old BR roo? And I'm also looking to get a couple RIR hens around the same age

Bear's first egg!

Penny's first egg!

These two are best friends, so they decided to lay their first eggs side-by-side at the same time. Both are 21 week old.

Bear the Rhodefielder laid a BIG 1st egg, which is size medium. And it's dark brown.


Penny the Welbar laid a darker brown egg, peewee sized. Her egg is not as dark as I thought, but it's speckled

Their 1st eggs with Dolly's eggs.The egg colors in this photo are little lighter than the true color.

Where are you moving to? We have a guest house at our PA property that is rentable with lots of land for chickens!
Jenne

Thanks for the offer. Unfortunately, I'll move out of PA if there is no chance for us to stay here. I wish I could find a chicken-friendly place to stay.
