Cream Legbar Chicks

Purely Poultry is delighted to introduce the Cream Legbar Chicks, a breed that perfectly balances charm, practicality, and productivity. Known for their exceptional egg-laying abilities, these lively chickens provide between 180 and 200 eggs annually, with each egg adding a splash of color to your basket. Ranging from sky blue to light green, Cream Legbar eggs are both beautiful and highly sought-after.

Originating in Britain, the Cream Legbar was developed in the early 20th century by genetics pioneers Reginald Crundall Punnett and Michael Pease at Cambridge University. The breed’s creation was the result of carefully combining several breeds, including the Araucana, White Leghorn, and Barred Plymouth Rock. This mix not only resulted in their stunning, pastel-colored eggs but also gave them their distinct crested appearance and a unique genetic trait—autosexing. From the moment they hatch, male and female chicks can be easily distinguished by the color of their down, which simplifies flock management and makes Cream Legbars an efficient and practical choice for poultry keepers.

Beyond their egg production and practicality, Cream Legbars are also renowned for their striking good looks. Roosters sport a dramatic blend of cream and grey barred feathers, while the hens exhibit softer silver-grey plumage with hints of salmon on their breasts. Both sexes share the charming crest on their heads, which only adds to their endearing personality and elegant appearance.

These birds are not just pretty to look at—they’re hardy and adaptable as well. Cream Legbars are active foragers, always on the move and highly alert, making them excellent at avoiding predators. They thrive in a variety of climates, from cold winters to warm summers, proving to be resilient and low-maintenance for backyard enthusiasts. Their curious, friendly nature also makes them a joy to watch as they explore their surroundings, offering entertainment along with their steady supply of colorful eggs.

At Purely Poultry, we take pride in ensuring the health and well-being of each Cream Legbar Chick. When you add these birds to your flock, you’re not only getting a breed known for its beauty and egg-laying prowess but also a resilient and easy-to-manage chicken that will bring charm and productivity to your backyard for years to come.
