These beautiful legbars have been our passion- since we acquired them late in 2018. They are a beautiful creation of Candance Walden, who crossed Isabella Leghorn x Cream/Crele Legbars. These rare and unique legbars are considered lavender-based- but have an almost grayish/pearl hue. They are a striking white with grayish barring.
 
They lay the most beautiful blue eggs, and the best feature of all legbars is their autosexing. This means we can differentiate between pullets and cockerels based on specific traits at hatch.
 
We have spent the last four years focusing on our Opal flock and improving their natural beauty. We are super excited to share these beauties with you. We have worked hard on quality and find these to be just damn stunning. We breed our Opals to have crests-- nothing worse than crestless chickens, especially legbars. We have bred 100's of pullets and cockerels. We only select the best for our breeding flock.
 
As a responsible breeder, we offer Opal Splits and full Opals. The Spilts breed together to produce an Opal, Splits, and Cream (See breeding chart below). Since these are a newer variety of legbar, the gene pool is still pretty small. We try our best to avoid some of the pitfalls of other breeders and continue diversifying our gene pool. We choose to introduce cream legbars from our proven stock. We had our Cream Legbars years before we acquired our Opal Legbars.
 
The splits will look like a Cream/Crele Legbar but carry the hidden lavender gene. By providing these splits, we are ensuring the genetic diversity in the Opal Legbar Line. Thus preventing feathering issues or genetic problems. We have more Full Opals in our breeding pens, alongside a few Split Opals. We only use Opal x Opal and Opal X Cream Splits for our selling stock.
 
Here's a bit of an overview of how to handle splits and breeding information:
Opal X Opal = 100% Opal
Opal x Cream Split = 50% Opal & 50% Split
Cream Split x Cream Split = 25% Opal, 50% split, 25% Cream
Opal x Cream = 100% split
 
I am obsessed with this breed. We have been working on flock-- focusing on improving the white ear lobes, straight combs with crest, and yellow legs. I like a slighter, thicker form on our chickens.
 
We recommend that you mark or separate your eggs before hatching. It can be challenging for the untrained eye to tell a split opal from a cream without test breeding, so be careful when marking your eggs and chicks! Best Practice is: do not hatch with other cream legbars! Also, remember to band your chicks so you can know the difference. It will save you a headache and heartache later.
 
Please make sure you have read our shipping policies on hatching eggs and chicks. We recommend baby chicks for this selection.
 
Blue Hatching Eggs seem to be the most fragile in shipping. We strongly encourage you to consider purchasing baby chicks; the great thing is that since they are autosexing, we can determine pullet vs cockerel/stag at hatch. This is just a reminder that you will get a mix of full opals and splits- we typically have more full Opals hatch.
 
We are very proud of the progress with our flock. We only select the best chicks ad eggs to ship to you. We want you to be successful in aquiring these rare- but stunning- chickens.
 
Please make sure you have read our Shipping & Farm Pickup Agreement on hatching eggs and chicks. By purchasing, you agree to those terms and understand that shipping is risky with such products. Please ensure you have selected enough chicks—reminder: our boxes are big, but our minimum is four regardless of pickup or shipping. Due to the recent price increase from USPS  with perishable items such as hatching eggs and baby chicks, we offer several options to fit your needs. We have two flat-rate options for up to 2 dozen hatching eggs. The cheapest option does not include insurance, and we do not state that they are perishable. This means if you have damage in shipping, there is no recourse through the USPS- nor do we offer refunds or replacements.  The other flat-rate option establishes that the eggs are perishable, and you can file an insurance claim if there is damage.    If you want more than two dozen, please purchase them separately.  We only ship baby chicks via Express- we feel they deserve that higher level of care.  We have established a flat rate pricing for up to 25 chicks.  This price includes a Horizon Chick shipping box, aspen pad, heating pads (if needed), gel, and feed.   Please be aware that all orders are custom, so if you want chicks, there is at least a 21-day wait.
