Not much, worked all day. But when home just pulled out a couple of weeds (and cleaned the chicken coop)

Hello I would like to get an egg incubator (for chicken eggs) as a backup for when a broody leaves the nest prematurely. Is the RCom a good brand? Or is the Brinsea better? It would only be needed for a maximum of 12 eggs. I am based in the UK. Many thanks

All good and well here. Harvey is trying to keep his 12 girls in line, but they have their own minds 😅

Great article! I tried a few things already and they love their new 'climbing frame' but where afraid of the cabbage swinging back at them. Even after I tore off pieces and showed them, they just thought that the cabbage was out there to get them! 😆

Don't buy from this breeder again.

After waiting for several months, I'm so excited to find little, green eggs! All Harvey's daughters are laying green eggs. He is a pure blood Cream Legbar and mated with Light Sussex and Daisybelles to produce these lovely brown and black green egg laying hybrids. (egg on left is just for...

I read somewhere that the blue egg gene is dominant and therefore any female offspring from a Cream Legbar rooster lays blue/green eggs. All Harvey's (CL rooster) daughters are laying blue/green eggs (the egg on the left is just for comparison), which is great because I can breed again knowing...

I agree with the above comments; a Cream Legbar hen. This is a picture of one (albeit not 100% pure blood). Once she starts laying green eggs, you'll know it really is a cream legbar.

Maybe it's a Cream Legbar? This is my Cream Legbar rooster and his (hybrid) female offspring.

I've had 3 eggs with this amount of blood, so not just a one-off. I'm also worried, but there doesn't seem to be a hen which feels unwell and there is no blood on any of the hens bottoms. Could mounting by the rooster cause this? But then again, our rooster doesn't seem to be overly eager or...

Cream Legbar Rooster (1 year, 4 months old)

To be fair they have got a massive area with grass and small trees, but it's currently winter so there are no leaves on the trees. I sometimes empty the weed bucket in their run. They like it right enough, but flatten it within 10 minutes after which they look for escape routes and help me with...

Do you mean something like this: They still manage to get out 😒

sorry for my ignorance, but what is the 'tassel'?

Wow! I'd never heard of this breed 'Ayam Cemani'. They look pretty impressive.

No worries! 😀

Hi all Our chickens keep flying up on the fence and out of the run into the off-limit garden and it's driving me and my husband bonkers! How high do we need to build the fence? It is now 4ft (1.20m) and it has Alcatraz-style overhanging chicken wire on top. We also tried fixing a single steel...

My CL rooster looked like this at 3 weeks and 2,5 - 3 months old and now: So yes, they change quite a bit while growing up. Mind you, Harvey was a late developer and your cockerels may grow up faster than he did.

Do you mean the pictures from @BlueTheBrahma? They are not mine 🙂

Thanks for the compliment! I've passed that on to Harvey 😀😀 The hens are hybrids, so not 100% CL, only the rooster is, hence the variety of colours. The brown hens had the autosexing mark on their heads when they were chicks, so at least that CL gene came through. Now I'm waiting for them to...
