Cream Legbar
The Cream Legbar is a unique and captivating chicken breed renowned for its autosexing ability, an attribute that allows the easy distinction of chicks by gender from day one based on their feather patterns. Originating from the United Kingdom, the Cream Legbar was developed in the early 20th century by crossing Barred Plymouth Rocks, Leghorns, and Araucanas, resulting in a bird that combines attractive looks with practical features. This breed is particularly noted for its striking appearance, with a combination of cream, white, and gray-tinged feathers, and a jaunty crest giving it a charming appeal.
Cream Legbars are primarily valued for their blue eggs, a trait inherited from their Araucana ancestry. These medium-sized hens are good layers, producing around 180-200 eggs annually, consistently throughout the year. With a friendly and inquisitive nature, Cream Legbars are a favorite among backyard chicken keepers who appreciate their manageable temperament and ease of handling. They possess a robust constitution, making them relatively hardy and adaptable to various climates. As a breed that balances beauty, productivity, and personality, the Cream Legbar is an excellent choice for poultry enthusiasts seeking an ornamental yet practical addition to their flock.
