I just received an order from Mt. Healthy for 7 chicks. Like usual they included one extra. All chicks arrived safe and sound, and are very healthy and lively.
I believe I have pinpointed the extra chick. In this picture there is an Australorp at the bottom, and a Speckled Sussex on the right...
We are finally moved up to the homestead and about 90% of my flock is now up here, too. I AM SO HAPPY.
For the last year, my flock has been at another farm while we were transitioning out of town and up into the homestead. They were not cared for well. Over winter, I lost 2/3 of the flock and...
I just hatched these Cream Legbar chicks last weekend. Having trouble figuring out which are males vs females. I have read that males are a lighter color w a white spot, but I see some darker ones w a white spot. I am hoping you can tell me from this picture. Thanks for looking!
I have received a package of 10 chicks this morning. This is a "Hoover's Hatchery Live Rare Standard Package Chickens" order that was placed through TSC. There seems to be two breeds included. This is my first go at having chickens, so I wanted to get an expert's opinion on the matter or at...
So this little girl is roughly 4 weeks old and is supposed to be a Cream Legbar (Hoover Hatchery chick from Cal Ranch) and obviously, supposed to be a girl. She was dark, had very clear chipmunk markings when she was small, etc.
But, she's always had a bit of an odd comb. Has anyone seen a...
Hi everyone,
First time poster long time lurker.
I'm on Day 21.
i put in 18 cream Legbar, 3 Araucana, 3 Belgium D 'Uccle, and 6 pekin Bantams.
after day 14, i removed infertile left with 5 viable cream legbars (the reason for the hatch) 2 Araucana, 3 Belgium D 'Uccle, and 4 pekin Bantams.
So...
This is Peanut Hamper. I call her Pee Pee. She's (mostly) a cream legbar, and is very intelligent, but a little bit odd.
Pee Pee's most major oddity is that she has terrible aim. If I hold up a mealworm, she will miss at least five times before actually fitting it into her beak. The lack of...
Hello,
We were given a cream legbar “rooster” and I’m starting to question whether he’s a rooster or a hen. He doesn’t crow, he’s always in the nesting boxes and he gets flogged like all the other hens. He hasn’t laid an egg that I’ve noticed. He hasn’t gotten much bigger since we got him. He...
Hi folks!
Long time lurker, first time poster. I am looking to raise a small flock (6 ladies) from chicks this spring. I know this is a little early, but why go Christmas shopping when you can go chicken shopping instead?
I am new to my area (Reno, Nevada, US), but we have a mix of very cold...
So my hen had actually been laying more often now and hasn’t been gaping. Not today how ever she’s been slow and lethargic ? Any reason why ? Crouched down her neck more in , walking slow.Not pecking as much. She is a creamlegbar 35 weeks old
Hello!
I'm new to having chickens. We got 4 day-old chicks on April 21, 2024. Two Crested Cream Legbars, 1 Cinnamon Queen and 1 black sex-link. They're all now 6 months old.
We had an old garden shed in our backyard so we tore it down and rebuilt it into a coop and enclosed run. It's pretty...
Cream Legbar hen in the front, CL rooster in the back
The buff hen is getting some pretty feathers.
finally caught a pic of an F1 Grass Dancer cockerel. His feet have much stronger feathering than the hen (top left corner)
bettie, black copper marans rooster
mr legbar - Cream Legbar rooster
white chicken - F1 Marshmallow cockerel. look at that dusty coating on his back! the feathers almost look like barring on his neck? his daddy was a lavender rooster with the same dusty coloring on his back. this chicken is...
My blind hen is getting SEVERELY bullied to the point of broken skin and missing a LOT of feathers. We can’t give her a good enough home here, and if anyone is in or near our location who takes in injured or disabled hens, we need to rehome her FAST before she gets so badly hurt that there might...
I have a blue Silverudds isbar rooster over cream legbar and bielefelder hens. I thought this would result in blue or black chicks that are sex linked, but some are coming out very similar in color to the hen color..
Is this a possibility??
I will add photos of the chicks in question
This is a 'brain dump' of all my thoughts and actions of our first incubating and hatching journey - from receiving the eggs to popping the chicks into the brooder. It's purpose is for me to be able to look back on it for future hatches, and for others to be encouraged and hopefully learn...
Hi folks, I’ve got two new hens, one Easter Egger and a cream legbar the E.E has been laying well, but the Cream Legbar hasn’t yet, but she has been sitting down a lot outside ever since we got her just sitting not on eggs or anything just sitting down whilst everyone else is looking for bugs...
This chick is around 36 hours old and is the only one I’m unsure of, so any help is appreciated! Hopefully the print in the photo from the red light isn’t too troublesome.
*Editing to say we’ve figured it out, this is actually one of my egger legbar mixes that got mixed up when moving the...
We bought all of our chickens between June 7, 2023 - July 21, 2023. Almost all have started laying except our Ameracuana's and Copper Maran and the Cream Legbar. The Cream Legbar was purchased around June 20th and it's not yet laying even though ones we got after are laying. I have read that...
