Legbars...
I am considering hatching out a bunch.
I just ordered Mareks vaccine.
Toxic... how happy were you with your eggs? And where did you get them from?
Like I never have enough to do, I need something to keep me happy over the winter.

Ok, Roberta.... Ya got me!
Put me down for two cream legbar Pullets, if you can raise them up for me til they're four months old and can hold their own against the big girls. Truth be told though, I'm more fixated on getting blue eggs than I am on which breed is giving them to me. So, if you should just happen to come across two Easter Eggers who have already started laying so we know for sure that BLUE is their product, or two Ameraucana Pullets, I'd be delighted.
Of my current flock of four, the black Marans hen is down to one egg per week, the Delaware is still very reliably giving us about five or six pink eggs per week, and the two buff Orpington Pullets have NOT begun laying yet. Their combs are big and red, and they sure look old enough
to be laying, but no squatting as yet, and no eggs.
As it's just me and DH Gene to eat the eggs, we'll manage just fine with things as they are until a couple of BLUE-egg layers join the flock, whether that's before, during, or after this Fall and Winter.
Heaven forbid you should ever have nothing to do... See, I'm just helping you to not have a long boring winter.
All best,
-Carolyn. And my offer still stands, Roberta. Crash here anytime. Upstairs suite's all yours. Fairy godmothers get red carpet treatment.
