Great picts tobit. holy Cow they are big!!So here I go...
Firstly the cockerel I will be keeping, he has feathered out more and may be a bit larger, his barring seems to be getting better too
Next a size comparison with their lovely surrogate mommy!
Great picts tobit. holy Cow they are big!!Yes, as chicken pickin says -- you need to keep us up to date on their progress!
If you have no luck here, you can also try the Cream Legbar Clubs website, there is a member directory
Yay! -- get them hatched this fall and you will get eggs this spring. way-to-go. If you don't find someone near Atlanta, there are members with lovely chickens that would mail you eggs probably. One is chicken pickin, one is KPenley - they are in the East there somewhere..... ;O) Good luck with your quest.
Good luck -- and keep us posted on your adventures and how your hatch turns out. -- BTW -- fantastically cute avatar!Thanks for the tips, looks like I found someone in N. Georgia. I'm excited, legbars were what I wanted since I first got chickens but I couldn't find any around me for reasonable prices. I guess 3 years ago they were just still too new. Hope I have a good hatch.
Just a quick picture of my oldest rose combed cockerel. Not sure if I'll keep him because his tail is high and he has a huge comb. I have one more RC cockerel that I hope turns out good. Otherwise, the rose combed ladies are looking decent so they may just go with a cream rooster in the spring
Did you find the source of diminished eggs? Is it your heat up there? --Ironically, out of three hens I am only getting 2 eggs per week. I was sure they had a hidden nest in the bushes. I did find a nest, but none of the eggs were from the legbars. They just turned 2 years old, so age probably isn't the reason. It has been really hot here, but I thought legbars were supposed to lay well in the heat. My Rhode Islands are still laying everyday.
