Pack up the babies and grab the old ladies (hens and chicks that is)....and everyone goes.....

lol. I bought my grandparents house and property in 1990. In 83 my parents bought the 7 acres to be next to my grandparents. My grandmother now lives with my parents.

Oh you meant they have 7 acres, I thought you meant 7 chickens. lol

Hmmm...I would really love to have these birds

Texasmomma hatched out 2 of these just before Christmas. I think they were also little 'roos. I loved them also, but someone quoted 399.00 for a pair.... way to steep for my chicken budget.... let alone getting THAT one by my DH !



shoot, didn't get the pics to picture, but was talking about the Cream Legbars....

More affordable if you hatch your own. But there is always the gamble of shipped eggs. You can find them on eBay for ~$40 half dozen.

Those really are pretty birds. I don't know a whole lot about them...are they rare? What makes them so expensive?

ETA: I'm reading about them here: http://greenfirefarms.com/store/category/chickens/cream-legbar/
