I would agree they are in that ballpark. They look great.

Thanks so much. At what age did yours start laying? The hens barely have a comb so I know it will still be some time.

I think between 20-24 weeks but I was never sure of her age when I got her from GFF.

Great, maybe one of the hens will give me a great birthday present!

Let's hope

Watch their combs. Once they grow about an inch you will be close.

I will keep a close eye on those combs. Thanks.

Are there bantam legbars?

Ok so here are some updated pics of the chicks. I tried to get some shots that show the difference in male/female. First two pics are of my first little pullet. she's grown so fast!

Next is a group pic of 7 litle ones.

Head shot of a male and female. Female has dark stripe from head on back. Male has white spot and is lighter in general.

Side by side. Hard to see but female has chipmunk stripes. Male is lighter.

Female

Male

I don't think there are but it wouldnt be hard to 'make' them. Just find a super small bantam brown leghorn hen and breed to a cream legbar cock. Breed the smallest back to legbars and just go from there breeding smaller and smaller. I know there is probably an easier way but this is what I would do
