Egg Color: Blue- Medium Size
Baby Chick Min- 4
 
**Pre=Selling Baby Chicks for Fall of 2026- we plan on setting eggs end of August/Early September*
 
We are proud to have brought the Blue Legbar Project back to life!!  If you have received Blue or Splash Legbar- in the last 4 years--- they came from our genetics.  
 
These are our favorites and remain a work progress.... We use to joke they were one of kind- but with more breeders introducing them into their lines--- we are spreading the love !! These are a stunner and one-of-a-kind. A true-- original --- in a world of normal.  We have been testing all of our stock, and so far, all carry the double blue gene- they are homozygous. 
 
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.
 
Please note- Patrick Joseph Reindel Jr. Is responsible for the creation of the Blue Legbar. He did all the hard work- I acquired one beautiful hen from a known breeder of Cream Legbars..but I knew based on coloration this hen was different. Thus entering the rabbit hole of figuring out the mystery.  After touching base with him- and doing my own research/observation/ and breeding.   I ran with this project and never looked back. I only had the one hen, a blue legbar, so for several years, we bred her to cream legbars. The results were 50% cream and 50% blue.  
 
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.  But- it took over 4 years of hard work to feel good about moving forward.
 
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 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 the White  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
 
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. 
 
Please note when ordering hatching eggs- we are combining our two pens- so you will get ability to hatch- Cream, White, Blue or Splash.  We had the option of selecting from pen 1 or 2- but we always had a few broody hens- that limited our egg production.  So that we can maintain our level of egg production we are offering these together.  
 
These are also an excellent addition for those who want to create unique olive eggers or Marsbars.  All the females still have the barring genetics- even the splash and recessive white legbars although not expressed visually.   We have used White, Splash, Blue and Creams that are not breeding quality in our olive egger pens. (Typically we are pretty strict on our breeding stock and these typically are smaller or maybe don't fit precisely into what we want)  These have created the most beautiful offspring when crossed with Black or Blue Copper Marans.   We love using these to make the sex-linked Marsbars- olive eggers, which we can determine gender at hatch. (We offer these as well Marsbars)  There is a chance of splash olive egger when we have crossed these with our Blue Copper Marans- the splash is not sex-linked due to that coloration.  But, the boys are easy to determine after a few weeks- they are larger sooner. 
 
 
Please be aware that all orders are custom-- so if you want chicks, there is at least a 21-day wait.
 
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.
