Haha!! Yeah, my legbars are super flighty as well - my 55s too. But they do lay eggs - so yeah, like you, I can give them credit for that and overlook some of the ridiculous behavior.She came in a hatching egg assortment I ordered from MPC last summer, so I can't be certain. Based on her phenotype, though, my best guess is that she is a Crested Cream Legbar/Welsummer cross. She's CRAZY, flightly, and tiny, but she laid a very respectable size egg for her first time, and earlier than I expected, so I have to give her props for that.
I forgot to say, the photo of that coop, has the parents to these eggs in it. I think you can see the splash on the left.....Ooohh, so exciting! Can't wait!
That seems a little long, but I've not actually timed mine before - they do dust bathe, and that can be a bit time consuming. @WVduckchick what do you think?Ok, here are the 2 broodies, I'm not sure what the brown one is. Doesn't look like it in this photo, but the black one is a FrilkiView attachment 1227609
We put in one of our netgear cameras, and I noticed that when the black one got up, the brown one ran after her and they stayed out for about 25 minutes. Is that normal for a broody? The weather was right around 60 when they went out.
