I have two 12-13 week-old cream legbar cockerels that I need to rehome asap.. we have raised them since they were chicks and they might even be brothers! They get along well so far but we need to rehome as we are not ready to own roosters and legally can’t keep more than 1 either. We only have 1...
I recently hatched out 6 Crested Cream Legbar cross hatchlings, paired with my Paint Ameraucana EE rooster. I didn't get any paint colored chicks from this pairing. They were all black with a dark chipmunk stripe.
The cockerels have lighter beaks/legs + an obvious head dot.
The pullets have...
I have a 2yo Cream Legbar that does not lay. To date she has given us about 6 eggs total. I have 13 hens and 3 roos, in a 30x30 run, everyone is happy and healthy. Is there anything I can do? Or did I just get a dud of a hen?
First time chicken owners , got 6 3 week old and 16 3 day old in separate brooders . The 3 week olds went outside today for the first time for a few hours.
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...

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...

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...
