Quote: The comb, end away from the beak....pullets have a backwards widow's peak...is how she described it. Maybe someone that has had lots of silkies can chime in and let me know if she's on-to-something or just a lucky guesser!

And my 9 month old barnevelder pullet that thinks she is too pretty to have to lay an egg.

She could be right......she's awfully pretty!!

X2, I can only imagine how good she looks in person.

What fun pictures!!! Happy Chooks (and anyone else interested), we have started a couple of threads to start the ball rolling on an SOP and a club for Cream Legbars. We could sure use any help we can get. We have Walt Leonard of the APA standards committee guiding us as we formulate an SOP. Here's the SOP page and here's the club page. Website should be up in the next week or two and we hope to be ready to accept new memberships by the last week of December or first part of January. Exciting stuff! We need to get all the CL people on board!

Why thank you so much for thinking of me, but I'm not breeding them. I got this girl because one of my broodies didn't hatch any eggs, and I didn't want her sitting for another 3 weeks. So Mary gave me this girl, along with a white legbar that turned out to be a male.

Condolences and sympathy to all those having to put down birds. It is such a hard thing to do. Luckily I have Michael who is willing to do the deed for me when it needs to be done. Never easy for anyone.

I better get out to the little yellow house and finish building my brooder before the rest of the eggs hatch!

Ditto.

She is much prettier in person - her lacing is gorgeous. I need to figure out how to photograph the lacing better.

Here is how I spent 3 hours this afternoon. Did I mention I HATE getting up on ladders and roof's? I was on both today, moving the netting around and "instructing" my 12 and 9 year old on where to zip tie it to the fence. After getting the bottom secured, I was able to get off the ladder and work on the top. Lots of cutting zip ties and stretching, but I think it looks pretty good now. It was a royal pain, but worth it if it better protects my flock. I'll get some hog ties that Mary recommended and finish it off.

Sorry you had to cull her! I hope you will be making chicken and Dumplings soon

You have also inspired me! I will cull the Partridge Penedesenca roo that I have. He has a leg problem and should not be used in a breeding program.

sorry Ron. We will get some good ones in the spring.
