little chickadee Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I may be being thick - but I can't find a picture of a Cream Legbar anywhere. Can anyone help? I'm dreaming of blue egg layers and will hopefully get one or two of something when The restriction zones have gone away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

little chickadee Posted November 25, 2007 Author Share Posted November 25, 2007 i do really like the jasmines/skylines/etc! but I would really like to definately get blue eggs, and I know that they are not always blue egg layers. I think I'll stick to a pure breed to be sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkleeeeee Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 i have some cream legbars, no eggs yet but there are some photos in my album (link below) they are lovely, very chilled out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicki9 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 We have a skyline legbar (hybrid) that is meant to be a guaranteed green egg layer - I'll let you know when she lays, but her ears have started getting very green though!

Does anyone know? xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Blue or Bluey Green from Cream Legbar's only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicki9 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I would love to know, as I didn't really believe them when they said guaranteed green ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Heres my Clover,which seems to be a popular Cream Legbar name She has just come into lay,has the softest feathers & is friendlier than I thought a CL would be I have always wanted a CL,as I love the blue eggs & think they are such pretty hens too. We got her just a week ago from Worldwide Poultry in Beaulieu,where he has heaps of POl Cream Legbars! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkleeeeee Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 the lady i got my cream legbars from said that once she had a cockerel that she did breed from that caused white eggs to be produced she said she had to rehome him. she said to look for blueish leggs as well as ears. i have three with blue ears and one with very blue legs so i hope one will lay really blue eggs. but to bE honest i bought them for temprement not for the eggs so i will not be devistated if they are any other colour. I JUST WISH THEY WOULD LAY SOMETHING!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellekatz Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Heres my Ellie She definitely lays blue eggs but has just been moulting so we've not had any for a while.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feemcg Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 My goodness Cinnamon - Clover has a big comb, did they tell you how many weeks old she is? My Wendy started laying about a week after the photo was taken - her comb is almost the size of Clover's now and she is 39 weeks this week!

Cinnamon Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 She has got a lot of comb,hasn't she? I didn't get an accurate age for her,just that she was POL, but I was under the impression that she was about 26-26 weeks. She is a lovely hen,both in looks & temperment,& I almost wish I had got another Cream Legbar aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feemcg Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 I've still got four 12 week old's in the grower's run - 3 are going this week and I'm keeping one - Bonnie, along with Rosie the Gingernut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cate in NZ Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 I had a cream legbar, Phil, and I loved her to bits . Waited half a lifetime (OK, the best part of a year for her first egg.........I'd reached the point of thinking that she'd never lay ), but she laid brilliant eggs, gorgeous blue colour all through the spring and summer, stopped every October and took the winter off . She was much more nervy than my other girls, definitely bottom of the pecking order, scared of her own shadow, never mind another hen, but she was so sweet and cuddly and gorgeous. She's happy in a local petting farm now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
