Breed guide
Cream Legbar
Also known as: Legbar, Crested Cream Legbar, Gold Legbar, Silver Legbar
Autosexing British breed developed at Cambridge from Leghorn, Barred Rock, and Araucana stock. Chicks can be sexed at hatch by down color. The cream variety carries a small crest and lays blue eggs; Gold and Silver Legbar varieties lay white or cream eggs.
Keeper's notes
Excellent foragers that do well ranging. The single comb can take frostbite in a hard freeze, so cold-winter keepers should watch it. Some strains are flighty, so fence accordingly.
