My relatives have a flock of mixes. Just your basic laying hen with a single comb. Problem is that they're getting quite old and don't go broody anymore. Because of that, they're not getting any new young pullets. And with the local fox visiting and taking a hen every week or so, the flock is...
We have a few girls coming into lay right now. I’m expecting our olive egger and our CCL to lay within the next 3-6 weeks.
I checked both girls to see the width of their pelvic bones and the CCL, even though she is a month younger seems to have spread further apart… 2.5 fingers versus the 1.5...
I had a bad experience with Meyer and decided to go with MPC when ordering chicks this time around. But, I’m just now figuring out that the hatcheries are/were affiliated. The threads I saw are years old, so I’m here to ask if it’s possible that they’re not affiliated anymore?
Meyer forgot to...
My partner and I recently moved to Missouri in 2020 and finally just started our chicken family this year in 2022.
As of right now, we have our first 12 chickens: 2 cream legbars, 4 easter eggers, 3 speckled sussex, and 3 splash-laced red wyandottes.
We turned (are still turning) an extra, old...
Sooo many different amounts listed on websites… so figured I would ask here.
How many eggs per week does you CCL hen lay? ALSO, what size? And when did they start lying?
Thanks!
Pic for attention
This is our very first hatchling. First egg I ever candled, and then ended up being the first egg to hatch from our first ever clutch. Because this was the #1 egg and #1 hatch, we have dubbed them The One, Neo. I was told this one is a Cream Legbar.
So... Is this a Cream Legbar? If so, doesn't...
Pretty sure this one is a black Maran. Was sold as a pullet, but I’m thinking maybe not?
This one I have no idea. Hatched from. Blue egg. I thought maybe a cream leg bar? But it doesn’t look like any of the cream legbar chicks I have seen. It’s sister is in the background!
Thanks in...
Feathers missing from front of neck for 2-3 months, treated 3x with permethrin in the last 2mos for poultry lice around vent, no improvement of neck, no more poultry lice around vent. No bugs visible on neck. No lifting of leg scales. No other chickens with missing feathers. Can’t tell if others...
I have hatched two rounds of Welsummer (rooster) X Cream Legbar chicks. This should produce sex-links. The chicks I suspect are males have very small head spots compared to other sex-links I have seen. What would cause them to not be as defined? My stock is from breeders and not hatchery...
I'm hoping to find some people to help me with sex linked chickens.
Would a Cream Legbar x Barred rock hen make sex linked chicks? Any idea what they would look like? I'm hoping for colorful roosters.
Cream Legbar x Delaware?
Cream Legbar x Silver Laced Wyandotte?
Cream Legbar x Columbian...
Out of six CCL eggs, 3 hatched. The obvious girl passed after hatch and one was an obvious boy. Then there's this chick... Light markings, no real head spot, decent eyeliner... I cant decide that it's definitely a boy. Photos at day 4. Thoughts? Thanks!
My easter eggers I bought online from tractor supply are definitely mixed with cream legbar? I think 🤔 and I'm thinking maybe golden comet? Its a light brown egg layer, and a lot of my chicks have gold feathers, ones name is goldie we also have cookie what do u guys think they are mixed with 17...
10 weeks old, $15 each. Greenfire Farms production line. Located in Big Flats, NY. Can't ship, but I'm willing to meet you within a reasonable distance.
Hi all! Do you think this rooster looks like a cream legbar? He was the neighbour’s rooster who decided he liked our property more and they wanted to get rid of him so we kept him. They said he was a barred rock, but looking at photos online he looks way more like a cream legbar to me. Let me...
This is Noodle my Purebred Cream Legbar Cockerel.
He is lovely, calm, allows me to pick him up as I please and looks after his ladies well. Although he can be a bit daft and face a corner of a wall for a while, or call over the hens to look at some chicken poop :gig
I was just wondering how...
