Baby Chicks: Cuckoo Bluebar Blue-Egger

Cuckoo Bluebar was a substitution. I have one adult of this breed who is highly nervous. The new chick (runs around peeping when she gets a treat) is goofy, but friendly. Love the little tuft of upright feathers on her head. I purchased 8 chicks. They arrived healthy (a day later than promised by the post office - but the post office very kindly called me and let me pick them up at 6:30 AM the following day when they arrived). All chicks appeared healthy. When I put them into their brooder box, they slowly became active, eating and drinking - except two that just stood still. I tried dipping their beaks in water, but no interest. After 30 minutes, they were still not moving around so I made sugar water and put some into a tiny spoon and kept lifting that to their beaks - after 3-4 dips they each took a swallow - all good from then on! After a few sips they started to walk around and within minutes were as lively as the rest! Healthy ever since! It seems that little sugar after a long ride in a box works wonders!

Pretty little chicks

Loved our Bluebar, we got her as a chick this time last year. She started laying for a few weeks before she stopped for the winter. Unfortunately she disappeared one day, and then a couple days later our olive egger also disappeared. We get about 2 dozen eggs a week from our 4 chickens but wish we had some variety in our basket. Expecting 10 started pullets this week, unfortunately there were no blue bars available but we did order a cream legbar, an olive egger and an Easter egger, we should at least get 1 colored egg out of the bunch, hopefully 3.

Still small baby right now, so I can’t write a full review right now.

Uhg! She was expensive. Bought especially for the blue eggs only to find that we are the unlucky 16th family that is getting a slightly off white egg. She is pretty. But this is very disappointing and not the reason she was purchased. I won’t buy this breed again.

Great all healthy thank God

Absolutely precious chicks!

Great chicken

Beautiful chick. Her colors are coming out weekly.

Only a week old it's hard to say how this beautiful chick will turn out.

These are some of my Favorite birds for the 'MPC Exclusives!' They lay large blue eggs, and look like blue creme legbars! They're active birds and in the middle of the flock for pecking order. They've done great in NC with hot summers that are very humid and winters with cold and ice, never had an issue with frost bite, and they dont get so hot in the summer they're standing under the fans not moving. Very good all around bird with blue eggs if you like variety in your flock! They're fun as little chicks, when the crest starts coming in on their baby fluff they have hilarious little mo-hawks! Got 15 babys in my recent order, (including 1 new Bluebar girl) everyone arrived in less than 24 hours, they were chirping and active, they're almost two weeks old and are happy and healthy! Will definitely order again.

So soft and fluffy

I ordered 4 Cuckoo Bluebars & 4 Bountiful Blue Egg Layers born March 4th 2024. I received my first egg July 18th, 2024! I honestly don't know which breed layed at 19.5 weeks, but it is a beautiful blue egg. I love all of the chickens. The cuckoo bluebars are more cautious, but still friendly. Customer service at My Pet Chicken is good too.

She appears to be doing well. Very feisty.

Seems good.
