Okay, so with Desert's assistance and some really oddly crazy antics from the boys, we have things a bit more sorted chicken-wise. This is what I have up for grabs, all of them down here in Bountiful:
3 Adult Cream Legbar girls in their first laying seaso
6 Juvenile Cream Legbar girls, about 10-12 weeks old
1 2 week old Cream Legbar girl and 2 boys, same age
All of the Cream Legbars are non-crested.
3 BLRWs, 8-10 weeks old. These aren't from my flock and I personally don't think they are breeder quality, but they do have nice blues on them. They are either a dark blue or a light black-- I really honestly can't tell on them. I'm leaning towards Blue, but like I said, they aren't my stock. They are supposedly from Floey lines and it seems they are slow feathering, so they could turn out considerably better than I think at this point. I'm not even going to try to figure out whether they are boys or girls at this point. Kind of a crapshoot.
There are also 10 BLRW 2 week olds, from my own stock. No Splash, unfortunately, just a mix of Blues and Blacks. I pulled 4 of the Blues out to keep, but I am rethinking that. Possibly not the best idea at this point, especially since I can hatch some in the fall when I have more time. There is no way to tell if they are boys or girls at this age (unless you are talented in vent sexing!).
I left all the BLRW adults up in Duchesne--separated them out into keepers and non keepers and put the non keepers into the "dinner" pen. Cut the flock down to 6 (the best rooster and the best non-blck hens). I'm keeping a couple of the juveniles up there, but otherwise, all are going to go. I just don't have the time or energy and it's too much to ask the kids with everything else they are having to do here.
There is some confusion regarding the Cream Legbar juveniles vs the Welsummer juveniles. We thought we brought down 4 Welsummer girls to stay down here for Joel to watch. Once we got them down here, we realized 2 of them were Cream Legbar girls (hey, they tend to look pretty close!). Desert, you might want to double check those Welsummers you have from Joel. It looks like whoever got into the coop took a whole lot more Welsummers than we thought. The boy you have is definitely a Wellie, but I'm not sure about the girl. Remember the darker colored one that I said, "that's odd, she's a lot darker" on? Well, that's because the others were Cream Legbars.
So, anyway, if you all want any of these, they are here for being picked up. I'm working pretty close to every night, 7pm-7am, but if you give me warning you can usually come anytime during the day. If I'm asleep the boys can show you the chickens. Prices are extremely flexible and all the money gets paid to the kids, since they are doing all the work around here.
