Hello all! This thread will be for documenting my Frost White Legbar breeding journey. These will be the first breed I will be focusing on pure breeding to the SOP.
On April 24, 2024 I bought 2 Frost White Legbar chicks, not knowing much about their rarity at the time. If I had known, I would've bought more of them. Both of them were pullets, which was easily identified because the chicks of Frost White Legbars are sexlinked. The pullets are now almost 9 weeks old. (For the life of me I thought they were older than that. I don't know why
)
Yesterday (August 8, 2024) I purchased an 11 week old Frost White Legbar cockerel from a kind lady on Facebook who needed to get rid of them because she couldn't have roosters. She had 2 Legbar eggs, but both of them ended up being boys, so she had no female chicks to compare them to.
Now, I have the 3 chickens in a dog kennel until I finish their much larger breeding pen. It will be a while until I can start getting chicks from them, but it is good to let them grow up together. If the rooster becomes very adament about breeding with them when they aren't ready, I will put him back in the kennel, but the kennel will be inside their breeding pen so they aren't truly seperated.
