Cream Legbar

Poultry · Chicken · 0 live listings

Cream Legbars were developed in Cambridge, England, in the 1930s and lay blue eggs. They are autosexing, so chicks can be sexed by down color at hatch, and they are active, crested birds with good foraging instincts.

The tradeoffs, honestly

Cream Legbars can be flighty and roosters protective. Some hatchery stock is less true to type.

Common questions

How are Cream Legbars autosexing?

Female chicks have a dark stripe down the back, while males are paler with a light head spot.

What health checks should chicks or pullets have?

Ask whether chicks were vaccinated for Marek's disease at hatch and whether the flock is NPIP-certified, which covers pullorum-typhoid and usually avian influenza. Look for clear eyes, clean vents and quiet breathing, and quarantine new birds for 30 days.

What color are Cream Legbar eggs?

Blue to blue-green. Color varies by line.
