I got two chicks from our local pet feed and animal store. I loved the one I got that looked like a chipmunk and the second was a beautiful cinnamon colored bird. At the time I didn't know what kind of birds I chose. I just liked the colors. well, I ended up with a Long Island Red and a cream barleged. I didn't know what the cream barleged chicken was and began using google lookup and learned the one chick was a female cream. As I read up on her, I was extremely excited to find out what a great calm bird she is. Thank you for more information on her. I can't wait for her eggs, about 2-3 months from now. Thank you for the information!

Don’t be jealous but I got 4 young cream legbars given to me ! I’m so excited to add to my flock. They lay green eggs but look more like blue but I’m ok with that .

It is a fantastic breed. They are great foragers and very predator aware. The roosters would give their lives for the hens. They are good egg layers and lay around about 200 eggs a year even in the second and third year still around 180. For the last three years I haven't lost even one chicken. They ate very robust and tolerate heat and cold. The only thing they don't like is snow and confinement. They are happy and calm in a big coop and run with plenty of cover like hedges. They do go broody if they are happy and are great devoted mothers. Keeping more than one rooster if they did grow up togethet isn't a problem either. They do look after the hens together. The firtility and hatching rate is great, so far I've had a 100% fertility and hatching rate. The eggs weigh around 60 grams (2 ounces). You won't be disappointed if you buy them. The only thing you need is a high fence as they can fligh over a six feet high fence without any effort if they want to. They are fun to watch, curious and do trust their owner once they had time to get used to him. I haven't regretted once keeping them. I started off with 3 hens in 2021 and my flock has increaded to 13 hens and 3 roosters so far. One hen is broody again and has been sitting on 7 eggs for three days soon a few chicks will be added again to the flock.

Nevermind me… I’m just reviewing the section I missed on the quiz. 😎 And FYI, I honestly don’t remember being told the name of the Punnet Square. I remember using it to figure out all the possible outcomes but not who developed the system. 🤷‍♂️
