Nice!

The Crested cream legbars are the gray mottled ones? Roosters look like that for them.

I hatched really nice blue egg layers this summer. they are University of Arkansas blue egg layers. They are Blue, black, splash genetics. I have all three colors! Sadly they are very rare.

They are an improved version of the True Blue chickens that McMurray sells

Yes, so I have roosters. I heard you could tell at hatch but I never figured it out.

I have the most awesome rooster right now. He is a Jubilee Orpington & he is calm with humans & a gentleman with the hens. Its so cute to see him call the hens for treats & sing the egg song with the hens after they lay an egg. Sadly he is waking me up at 5 A.M. so he is going to a new home. So sad to see him go though. I am probably going to set some eggs next week & maybe hatch some of his babies.

That's too bad. He is very pretty. I have one jubilee orp. I think it is a hen. My chocolate boy is nice to humans but still over breeding the hens. Some have no feathers at all on their backs.

That's too bad. Maybe you should try a different one? I could have sent this guy to you but I already found him a home.
I have a jubilee orpington pullet also who just started laying, maybe some of her eggs will hatch. I have only seen the jubilee rooster breeding with one hen (the chocolate EE!) and I know her eggs are fertile, but not sure if any of my other hens' eggs are being fertilized.

Yeah, I should keep him in a cage but I hate doing it. I just wish he would ease up. I was hoping as he got older he would.

Well I thought I was getting crested cream leg bars. They do not have crests.

I hatched a bunch of CLs from him and they all had crests.
