Orpington Crele Legbar

I saw this photo of an Orpington Crele Legbar on a well-known auction site recently and just fell in love with it!!
The details stated that the seller was making 6 eggs from this award winning bird available for auction as a limited offer and may not be making any more available-I was hooked and just had to have a bid as the plumage is so colourful and it would make a great addition to my flock, surely I would get at least 1 cockerel from the batch of 6 Orpington Crele Legbar eggs!!

Pasted from the sellers Orpington Crele Legbar auction details - stockbridge69

CRELE LEGBAR LARGE ORPINGTON THAT HAS BEEN SHOWN IN 2008/9. AS YOU CAN SEE, THIS YOUNG BIRD CARRIES THE CORRECT BARRING ON HIS WING TIP WHICH WILL IMPROVE ONCE HE HAS MOULTED, WHICH HE HAS NOT YET DONE!!!!

Orpington Crele Legbar Eggs in my incubator.

6 Orpington Crele Legbar Eggs duly arrived whole and after a very impatient 24 hours while they rested and I checked my incubator after setting it up, I started incubation and popped them in with an X on one side and a 1 on the other in pencil as they need turning 3 times a day and it helps to do this (I have been told)

    Great lens. I love those chickens! We have nothing like that in Canada. What wonderful variety you have over there in the UK! I have Lavender Orpingtons here in Canada (mailed from BC to Ontario) and got 7 out for 10 eggs when incubated). Cheers!
