This remarkable bird has all the attributes most poultry enthusiast are looking for.
Cream Legbar are a medium sized bird, auto sexing, good foragers, sweet temperament and great producers of beautiful pastel sky blue to light green eggs. They produce large numbers of eggs and are rarely broody. The hens produce a rather large egg for the size of bird.
The Cream Legbar are really good foragers and do well free ranging. They are nicely camouflaged with the beautiful charcoal grey and tan feathering. The roosters are also protective of the hens and always have an eye on the sky.
Egg color is one of the most difficult things to photograph. Different lighting can make the eggs look completely different. The two top eggs in the carton are my Ameraucana eggs, they always lay a sky blue egg. The other 6 eggs are the Cream Legbar, they range from pastel blue to turquoise blue/green. The color is bold, rich and makes for a lovely egg basket.
In 1952 a study was conducted in England with seven Cream Legbar hens for one year, on average they each laid 260 eggs. That alone makes them a great hen to have in the coop.
Cream Legbars are an auto sexing breed which we find so appealing as I'm sure our customers will also enjoy. It's very difficult to find a bird that produces a pastel colored egg that can also be easily sexed.
We will be offering this breed as sexed day old chicks or you can order as started young pullets and roosters.
Look forward to hearing from you.
