    Cream Legbars or EE/Ameraucana

    I bought 6 chicks from a local hardware store this spring, they were labeled as EE chicks but I have raised EE chickens in the past that had the Ameraucana in the past but these are looking a little different. Instead of the puff cheek feathers my last ones had, these has a tuff on top of the...

    Let’s play guess the breed:

    Let’s play guess the breed! I hatched this one out 3 months ago from some backyard mixes I got from a friend. I’m not sure what breeds she has so the sky’s the limit when it comes to guessing. While the colouring is off I’m thinking she looks a lot like a legbar.

    Sex-Link using Legbars

    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...

    Diarrhea?

    Okay ever since I got Shelby she’s been an unhealthy chicken, always wants to be left alone and is very flighty. I brought her inside today because of the frostbite on her comb and she had one solid poop and is now shooting out diarrhea! At this point I’m just not sure what to do with her. For...

    Three of our hens went broody

    Three of our girls went broody at the same time. Two are in the same coop and one is in a different one. It's so interesting to watch. Our silkie was the first to go broody. She's just about a year old and is really tiny. At first I just thought she wanted to sleep somewhere else (sometimes our...

    Legbar? Brown Leghorn? EE? What did I pick up!?

    We recently picked up 2 laying hens from a fb group. The owner wasn’t too sure which chickens laid which eggs and they were sold to her as group of “rare” breeds. So, with it going in to winter they probably won’t lay for a bit. So until we get egg color to go off of, any thoughts on what breeds...

    Are these mixes instead of Cream Legbars?

    I hatched these Cream Legbar chicks from a breeder. They are supposed to be 100% legbar from the Jill Rees and GFF 2013-14 lines. However, three of the five that hatched are very light and don’t have as much of a down “crest” as the two darker chicks. They aren’t recessive white- they have...

    Frost White Legbar???

    Hi all! I ordered six chicks from Meyer Hatchery. The chicks were all supposed to be mixed fancy breed. My question is, one of the chicks has a legband that indicates it’s supposed to be a Frost White Legbar, which would be great. However, this chick has white, black and maybe a bit of buff...

    Is this the Colombian color pattern (SilkieX)?

    I have two birds that are 3/4 silkie and 1/4 cream legbar. Wondering if anyone knows what color pattern they are. As babies I thought they would be partridge as they had black stripes on their backs and spots on their head. One is very light cream (almost white) with black striping on wingtips...

    10 week old wobbly when walking and lump on head

    We have a ten week old cream legbar we purchased from Meyer Hatchery. She was always lazy when we took her outside before they permanently moved outside. The last week or two I have grown more and more concerned about her laziness and realized she was very wobbly when she walks. She is able...

But their shanks are grey with very slight feathering. I got them from an assortment of rare breeds by Meyer Hatchery. CL cockerel? Or another...

    I’m a complete newbie; starting out with 8 chicks, hatched 11/4/2019. I wanted a variety and thought it would be fun to figure out what they were from a couple of the Meyer’s assortments. I ordered 3 from the production pack, 2 from the rare assortment, 2 from the rainbow assortment and also...
