The Legbar Thread!

Just checking in from rainy North Carolina

! Seems like it may never end! We have fallen hard for the auto sexing breeds and just added 5 little rhodebars to our flock, 3 boys and 2 girls. It all started with these pretty cream legbars!

Congrats! I'm in NC as well and am hoping for an excellent hatch from 8 CL eggs I'll be picking up tomorrow!!!! Where did you get yours?

I just wanted to share that the CCL eggs the Post Office had from Wednesday until Monday were not a total loss - close, but not total. 3 hatched, under a broody, 1 was way way way too tiny and died within 24 hours, but the other two look terrific and not a speck of white on their little chipmunk heads Silkie Mamas are raising them and doing a great job. Makes it tough to get pictures, but I will try over the weekend.

I set 23, 10 under the broodies and 13 in the incubator. The broodies were already working on a few of their own eggs and also had some Dominique eggs from a local breeder (4 broodies all together in a pen, did an absolutely fabulous job).

How sad that you lost so many! But given the USPS problems, amazing you managed to get two girls out of them all! Were you hoping for a boy, too?

My cream legbar hatching eggs came from a lady in Florida...via e-bay...

only ended up with a pair...but super excited just to have them! Sounds like you found a local source if you are picking them up? Are they 2013? My little pair is pretty gold in color...would like a few more! Let us know how your hatch goes. We just moved our 5 little rhodebars (9day olds) under a broody speckled Sussex who had 5 of her own with no problems.

No, mine are from 2011 stock. Best I can do for now since that was the closest at 2.5 hours drive away. There's someone about 2 hours away who is doing awesome things with their CL flock but they have a long waiting list so I'll get I that now and maybe have some chicks or eggs from them in a couple of months.

I would love to find the CL lady in Florida since Im in Fl. My road trip to Jordan Farms didn't happen. I found that Greenfire Farms is closer. Gff doesn't know it yet but there's a road trip from Ocala of nutter chicken ladies on the way. Lol!
