Blue Egg Laying Cream Legbars

I chose Cream Legbars (previously known as Crested Cream Legbars, or simply Crested Legbars) as my favourite blue egg laying chickens and find them a charming breed to keep. Cream Legbars are neat and clean looking with a sprightly air, and the lines I keep are quiet and friendly girls and boys.

The Cream Legbar pullets are a soft speckled dove grey with contrasting soft salmon breast, and creamy feathered collar, their looks enhanced by a jaunty little hat (officially called a crest) These have been selected to lay a pale powder blue egg, though Cream Legbars can lay blue or green eggs or even olive eggs according to the the Official Poultry Club Standard which can be read here CREAM LEGBARS 

I find Cream Legbars economical to keep, but lay a nice sized, and very pretty powder blue egg, and for a traditional breed are productive egg layers. I love the colour of the eggs when contrasted with other coloured eggs........
