Do you have pictures to share? I'd love to see a Cream Legbar egg!

Here they are! That is a Marans egg on the left and an EE egg on the right. The 3 in the middle I think are from the same hen. They make the EE egg look all washed out in comparison!

Wow, it's soooo cute! That's a silkie chick, correct? I can see the black skin. Congratulations!

Those are on my wish list. I want a black one. My husband complains that his grandmother's white ones were always dirty, lol.

Quote: Depending on the breed, sept-nov hatch dates start laying at start of spring.
If they are kept in a wind proof coop with a warm/heated spot they can go out as soon as 3/4 weeks. The have to be feathered under the wing to go out without heat. If fully feathered but not feathered under the wings I turn on a light at night that they can get warm by.

Who here on the wet side uses supplemental lighting in the fall/winter? I'm STILL on the fence about what I want to do and need to make a decision in the next couple weeks before we lose enough daylight that my POL birds skip laying until spring! ugh...decisions decisions.

I do not have a insulated coop nor do I use lights. I do have enough eggs laid in the winter for my family but not enough to sell. Plus I tend to hatch almost all my good eggs in the fall winter spring so I have chicks to sell.
Will you have any room in your incubator this fall?

YES! naked neck silkies. She called them showgirls? These were the only 2 naked necks she had but
she had blue, splash and buff. Really cute.

She also had splash "sizzles"! OOOH I want one of those so bad.

It's terrible isn't it? Of course now you've gone and posted photos of your pretty Cream Legbar eggs so I'll bet you're tempting a few people with those...
