They can still talk just across the fence they were pitching a fit last night and this morning Spud thought he was going to stop me from bringing my truck out from behind the barn by standing in my way, because he wanted to get to her.

Yup boys are stubborn! Keep telling my hubby he's more stubborn than me all the time!

Cool!!! what color is it? I have one Rhodebar pullet and I don't know what to look for...

 

[TNBEARCHICK]

It is beige. Thankfully not blue! I know some breeders at the beginning had blue eggs (more than likely cross birds or legbars)

Yep, I've got 2 rhodebar chicks that hatched from green eggs here. Not planning on keeping them or breeding them but I'm thinking a legbar roo got in the mix somewhere. The look like rhodebar chicks and you can't tell the difference in the green egg layers from the brown other then egg color. At least the ones I've seen you can't.

The legbars, Rhodebars, and Bielefelders are all so similar its near to impossible to keep them separate. I want legbars but only crested.

See, I selected 2 crested roos and 4 crested pullets in my cream legbars cause I just don't like the look of the uncrested.
