**These are a working project. Although genetics is a science, there may be situations or issues that we never predicted or expected, given the variables. ** Please breed at your own risk 🤣 **
 
These are our favorites, but they are still a working project. But anything from this coop is a stunner and one-of-a-kind. A true-- original --- in a world of normal.
 
We feel blessed to be offering these, but even more fortunate because the creator of the Blue Legbar, Patrick Joseph Reindel Jr., who owns and operates The Big R Ranch in Caldwell, Idaho, also added Christine Simpson's line of legbar chicks to this variety. If you are unfamiliar with Christine Simpson, she resides in Canada and has the last of the unrelated imports of legbars brought to the United States by Greenfire Farms.
 
We are going crazy over this gorgeous line, which lays beautiful blue eggs. We are lucky to have added a bit of these to our flocks—even more luck in acquiring these beautiful blue legbars.
 
When I started this project, I only had one hen, a blue legbar, so for several years, we have been breeding them to cream legbars. The results should be 50% cream and 50% blue legbars.
 
As luck would have it we always hatched more Cream Legbars than Blue Legbars. After much time, tribulation, and stress- we finally got a good-looking Blue Legbar Rooster and have taken this project to the next level.
 
We really don't rush things and allow them to happen almost in a symbiotic relationship so it did take us a little bit of time to establish the direction of our blue legbar project.
 
In this pen 1, we create- White, Splash, Blue, or Cream Legbars. The Blue and Cream are autosexing- they have characteristics that differentiate between pullet and cockerels at hatch. The Blue Legbars as chicks may resemble creams in coloration. As they age you will see the subtle changes and their feathering and they start to get a blueish hue.
 
These we breed like Black, Blue and Splash -- Replace the Black with Cream.
 
To our dismay--- the White and Splash chicks can be difficult to sex at a day old-- due to time limitations, so these and the Splash are sold straight run.
 
We have found the following--
Blue x Blue= 50% blue, 25% cream, 25% splash
Splash x Splash= 100% splash
Cream x Blue= 50% cream, 50% blue
Cream x Splash= 100% blue
Blue x Splash= 50% blue, 50% splash
 
25% of the chicks are white
 
**Our Blessful discovery - Early 2023, we hatched a few test eggs as we do with all of our coops before opening them up for the season. We discovered we have the recessive white gene in our blue legbars. Our hatchlings/chicks, on average, are 25 % white.
 
Pen 2  is a special Blue Legbar Breeding pen. We finally have bred enough Splash Legbar hens to cross with a Cream Legbar Rooster- thus, all the offspring will be Blue Legbars. We are thrilled to continue this beautiful project.
 
** We hate to limit selling these, but with this being a working project, at least until some of our younger hens start laying a limit of one dozen per purchase. ** Chicks 10 -- these could be white, blue, cream, or splash legbars- straight run. ** If we can determine gender -- you will get pullets--
 
Please be aware that all orders are custom-- so if you want chicks, there is at least a 21-day wait.
 
We are offering two different selections: P
 
We suggest that they are blue-based- even the whites - they should not be used with Opal Legbars or their Splits. As Blue and Lavender do not mix.... These work well with cream legbars.
 
We also use these with our Blue Copper Marans to create first-generation olive eggers. I have used the splash, blues and whites legbar hens. They make a lovely, beautiful olive egger.  Regardless of coloration these still contain the essential barring genes to create sex linked olive eggers that allow us to determine gender at hatch.
