Description
Cream Legbar Chicken
Breed Overview and Origin
The Cream Legbar Chicken is a rare British auto-sexing chicken breed known for blue eggs, a small crest, active temperament, hardiness, and the ability to distinguish male and female chicks at hatch by down color and markings. If you want a practical blue egg layer with built-in chick-sexing traits, Cream Legbars are one of the most useful colored egg breeds for backyard flocks.
Cream Legbars were developed in the early twentieth century at the Genetical Institute of Cambridge University by Reginald Crundall Punnett and Michael Pease. The Cream variety came from Legbar breeding work that included Gold Legbars, White Leghorns, and cream-colored Araucanas. The Araucana influence helped introduce the crest and blue egg genetics into the Cream Legbar line. The Poultry Club of Great Britain notes that Cream Legbars have crests and lay blue eggs, while the Rare Breed Survival Trust explains that the breed was standardized in 1958.
Although Cream Legbars were once at risk after blue eggs fell out of demand, they have become popular again with customers who want colorful egg baskets, practical laying ability, and chicks that can be sexed early. Cackle Hatchery® offers Cream Legbar baby chicks as a colored egg layer option and notes that its current breeding program includes both “Cream” and “Golden Crele” colors within the flock.
Appearance and Characteristics
Cream Legbars are attractive, light-bodied chickens with a small crest, single comb, active posture, and barred plumage. They are not heavy dual-purpose birds. Instead, they are active, curious, and practical layers that bring both personality and blue egg value to a flock.
Male Cream Legbars have cream-barred neck hackles, cream-barred saddle hackles with dark gray barring, and dark gray barred feathers in the breast and tail. Their wings show dark gray barring with cream tips, while the crest often blends cream and gray.
Female Cream Legbars have softer coloring. Their neck hackles are lightly barred cream, the breast is often salmon-colored, and the body is silver-gray with broad barring. The wings may be speckled gray, while the tail is silvery gray with light barring.
Because Cackle Hatchery’s flock includes both Cream and Golden Crele color genetics, offspring may include both colors. The percentage of each color can vary from hatch to hatch.
Auto-Sexing Chick Advantage
One of the biggest reasons customers choose Cream Legbars is their auto-sexing ability. This means male and female chicks can be identified at hatch by down color and pattern.
Auto-sexing is different from regular hatchery sexing. With an auto-sexing breed, the chick’s markings are tied to sex-linked genetics, so males and females look different as day-old chicks. That makes Cream Legbars especially useful for customers who want to plan flock balance early.
This trait was one of the main goals behind early Legbar development. Open Poultry Standards Australia notes that the aim was to create an auto-sexing utility breed focused on egg laying, where male and female day-old chicks could be easily sexed by color.
For backyard customers, this trait can make flock planning easier. However, customers should still check current Cackle Hatchery® ordering options and sexing policies before checkout.
Cream Legbar Egg Color and Laying Ability
Cream Legbars are best known for laying blue eggs. Some hens may lay blue-green or greenish eggs, depending on individual genetics and breeding lines. The blue egg trait comes from Araucana ancestry, which helped shape the Cream Legbar variety.
Cream Legbars are usually kept as egg layers rather than meat birds. Breed references often describe them as productive layers, with Legbar hens capable of producing around 180 or more eggs per year.
Egg production can vary by hen, age, feed, daylight, season, and flock management. Still, Cream Legbars remain a strong choice for customers who want a blue egg layer that is more predictable than many mixed colored egg layers.
For customers comparing blue egg breeds, Cackle’s Best Blue Egg Layers article is a useful internal resource.
Temperament and Flock Suitability
Cream Legbars are active, curious, charming chickens. They are both cold and heat hardy when managed properly, making them a flexible option for many backyard and small-farm flocks.
Because they are alert and energetic, Cream Legbars usually enjoy room to move, scratch, and explore. They can do well in secure outdoor runs and supervised free-range setups. However, customers should still provide predator protection, clean housing, and dependable nighttime shelter.
This variety can work well for:
- Backyard blue egg flocks
- Colored egg basket projects
- Customers who want auto-sexing chicks
- Active outdoor flocks
- Small farms and homesteads
- Keepers who enjoy curious, energetic chickens
- Flocks with other colored egg layers
- Customers who want a rare British breed
However, customers who prefer a very calm, heavy, low-energy chicken may prefer a more docile dual-purpose breed. Overall, Cream Legbars fit best with keepers who want active birds, blue eggs, and practical flock-planning traits.
Cream Legbar vs Ameraucana
Cream Legbars and Ameraucanas both appeal to customers who want blue eggs, but they are different breeds.
A Cream Legbar is a British auto-sexing breed with a crest and blue egg genetics. Chicks can be sexed at hatch by down color and markings.
An Ameraucana chicken is an American blue egg breed with muffs, beard, pea comb, slate legs, tail, and specific breed traits.
Choose Cream Legbar chickens if you want blue eggs plus auto-sexing chicks.
Choose Ameraucanas if you want a true Ameraucana type with muffs, beard, and recognized Ameraucana breed features.
Cream Legbar vs Easter Egger™
Cream Legbars and Easter Egger™ chickens can both lay colored eggs, but they are not the same.
A Cream Legbar is an auto-sexing breed with known breed history, a crest, and blue egg genetics.
An Easter Egger™ is usually a mixed or non-standard colored egg layer. Easter Eggers™ can be fun and useful backyard birds, but their appearance and egg color may vary more widely.
Choose Cream Legbar chickens if you want a more defined breed with blue egg potential and auto-sexing chicks.
Choose Easter Egger™ chickens if you want a colorful, budget-friendly layer and are flexible on final egg shade.
Cream Legbar vs Olive Egger™
Cream Legbars are often used in colored egg breeding programs, including Olive Egger™ projects. Cackle Hatchery® uses purebred Cream Legbar roosters crossed with purebred Welsummer hens to create its Olive Egger™ chickens.
A Cream Legbar is a blue egg layer.
An Olive Egger™ chicken is a hybrid bred to lay olive-colored eggs by combining blue egg genetics with dark brown egg genetics.
Choose Cream Legbar chickens if you want blue eggs and an auto-sexing breed.
Choose Olive Egger™ chickens if your main goal is olive-green eggs.
Is the Cream Legbar Chicken Right for Your Flock?
Choose Cream Legbar chickens if you want:
- Blue eggs
- Auto-sexing chicks
- A rare British breed
- A small crest
- Active, curious flock behavior
- Heat and cold hardiness
- A practical colored egg layer
- A breed with Cambridge genetics history
- A chicken that works well in colorful egg basket flocks
However, consider another breed if you want a heavy meat bird, a very docile lap chicken, or guaranteed identical feather color from every hatch. In short, Cream Legbars are best for customers who want blue eggs, active birds, and easy chick identification at hatch.
Care and Housing Tips
Cream Legbars need the same dependable care as other standard-size laying chickens. They do best with a clean coop, secure run, proper feed, fresh water, and predator protection.
For best results, provide:
- A dry, well-ventilated coop
- Predator-resistant fencing
- Clean bedding
- Fresh water at all times
- Balanced chick starter and age-appropriate feed
- Enough roosting space
- Nest boxes when pullets near laying age
- Shade and airflow during hot weather
- Protection from drafts and damp bedding in cold weather
- Secure outdoor space for active foraging
Because Cream Legbars are energetic and curious, they benefit from space to explore. If you free range, train birds to return to secure housing at night and watch for predator pressure.
Recognition and Availability
Cream Legbars are recognized by the Poultry Club of Great Britain and are listed under auto-sexing soft feather light breeds. The breed was standardized in 1958 after its development from Legbar, Leghorn, and Araucana ancestry.
Cackle Hatchery® offers Cream Legbar baby chicks as a colored egg layer option. Since hatch dates and shipping windows can change during the season, customers should check Cackle Hatchery’s Chicken Availability Chart before ordering.

Megan Foord –
I want to love this breed, but I can’t. I ordered six in June and have lost over half of them for no apparent reason. An extra was even included. They are kept in pristine conditions, and I have lots of other breeds that I got this year that haven’t had any issues. It’s always this breed that randomly dies. The remaining three are healthy for now and even laying, but I don’t have my hopes up. They just seem…weak.
Sarah Davies –
We ordered 6 cream legbars in May. One died about 48 hours after arriving. The rest have developed nicely. They are small birds, so I worry about them with the rest of the flock. They are very friendly and curious, and they do seem to hold their own with the others. Looking forward to when they start to lay this fall.
Audrey Gibbs –
I wish I could edit my previous review, but this is the update- the hens are in lay and the eggs I get are beautifully vibrant blue/green (not sky blue) but they are small compared to all previous CCL I have had (from multiple other hatcheries). Even more significantly, two of the 4 hens have had serious leg/foot issues. One has a foot with toes that are too long, and the other has gone lame multiple times. I have never had these issues with any other chickens, including the others from Cackle, so I can only assume it is genetic issues.
Overall, I cannot recommend this breed from Cackle.
Audrey Gibbs –
Mostly nice, healthy birds. I got a mix of males and females. and one of the females was nearly bantam size and couldn’t make it with the rest of the flock once they were teenagers since these are already a small breed. The other females are okay but at night fly all the way to the top of the barn and poop on everything, and nothing I have done seems to convince them not to perch there – they just find a new spot and continue making a mess. The males all seemed healthy but only one has shown any interest in “roostering” and he is fairly aggressive now that he’s hitting the 5-month mark so I had to separate him. I am hoping at least they will lay blue eggs and not green… time will tell.
bdremington –
Excellent birds – healthy and resilient. They went through Hurricane Beryl, and we live in the middle of a thick bayou forest. Mosquitoes were insanely numerous for weeks, so a bout of fowl pox ran through them. The little roo had it the worst, the hens not so much, but they’re all healed up now, and two are laying (Late April BDs) Robin’s blue-colored miniature eggs. Very sweet temperaments, two of the hens love to be handled, and have their ceres lightly rubbed. No pecking wars in establishing the hierarchy this time, but they moved in with four established and bossy hens so maybe that had an impact…But even their play jousting has been mild. And the roo, is a bit of a gentleman. Color-wise, the hens are pretty, very busy with interesting patterning, ranges and fades of red russets, blondes, grays, blacks and whites with substantial head adornments and long bright white earlobes on some. Honestly, the color and patterning remind me a bit of a wild pheasant. And the roo is spectacular, with a giant comb and long wattles, and long dangling earlobes. His colors and patterns are very distinct from the hens, much bolder, very handsome. Now my happy flock is comprised of 4 CLB hens and a rooster, two Olive Egger hens and two Welsumer hens.
Loveland Acres Ranch –
A beautiful and docile breed to buy. Unfortunately, one seemed to have a wing deformity, but it does not seem to disrupt her quality of life. Otherwise, they are a happy and healthy breed!
spirit.haus –
These are beautiful birds. I was hoping their eggs would be more of a true sky blue, but they do have a hint of green much like easter eggers I’ve had. My roo is 7 months old, gorgeous, and still extremely friendly. The female chicks weren’t very hardy when they showed up, I got speckled sussexes and French black marans as well and they did much better the first two weeks than the CCLs did. I lost 2 out of 6 CCL babies pretty quickly, and one more struggled to heal her yolk sac and failed to grow for several weeks but she pulled through. They did include a few extra chicks which made up for it, and the ones that made it are beautiful birds now, just weren’t very sturdy chicks.
Jocelyn Chapman –
I am satisfied, though wish I had paid more attention to the information here on Cackle’s website as it’s quite different than what what I expected because of what you see for the breed elsewhere.
For example, other sources says the breed lays 280+ eggs per year, but Cackle’s only do 180-200. Also, look at the egg colors in the pictures, they are more green-blue than blue, this breed else where I’ve seen look BLUE rather than this.
My Cream Legbars are now over 6 months old and have been laying eggs for 2 months, all happy and healthy.
John Dixon –
I am very pleased. All of our birds arrived strong and healthy. All have now grown into perfect specimens of their breeds.
Shelly Gore –
Our Cream Legbars have been thriving! I order 4 and recieved 5 in the mail. I have one who is so sweet. She loves to be held or to sit on my shoulder while I’m in the run filling the pool for the duck and feeding everyone their daily snacks. These chickens lay beautiful Robin’s blue eggs and they have the sweetest temperments! They are quiet hens in general, not noise like other breeds. They announce with their egg song, but otherwise they are much quieter hens. My sweet Fiona likes to coo to me when she is with me. This breed also seems to be docile as well, none of that pecking order going on. They have beautiful feathers and plumes with each one distinct from the other.
Cackle Hatcherty did a great job with preparing and shipping my girls in the mail. They all came in healthly and happy. I will gladly do business with Cackle again in the future!
lindapenning –
Received very healthy chicks. I was a breeder previously and these look like good stock. Conformation is good and good cresting. This breed has always been one of my favorites with a good disposition. The pullets are just starting to lay so not sure how blue the eggs are. Have my fingers crossed. Thank you for some beautiful and healthy chicks.
Sue Cherrier –
I have 7 Cream Legbars – 4 are 2 years old and 3 are 23 weeks. We ordered more this year because we love our first group / they are the cutest little chicks ever. I’ve noticed their eggs get larger as they age. They are energetic, sweet, inquisitive and smart. As long as I have chickens / there will always be Cream Legbars!
Christine Navarro –
I ordered 3 cream legbars,all three are lovely ladies who have started laying blue eggs. They arrived healthy and lively and integrated into the flock. I am very pleased with my legbars
Erika Bontrager –
I am very pleased with my second order from Cackle Hatchery. I ordered 5 each of Cream Legbar, Chocolate Egger, and Salmon Favarolle. All three of these breeds are so cute in their own way, with adorable personalities. We had foxes take half our rainbow egg flock this Spring so this is my attempt to get those rainbow dozens again. Cream Legbars lay the most aqua-colored egg. What chickens are fed affects the egg size, shell strength, and taste. We order certified organic, non-gmo corn- and soy-free in bulk from a co-op of small farmers in the Midwest. Our hens’ eggs are on the medium to large size, some extra large. Only the Light Brahmas laid smaller eggs, but that is typical of that breed. I got those from another hatchery. Story on why you might want to get the Marek’s vaccine: My first time ordering Cream Legbars from Cackle Hatchery, I did not get the Marek’s vaccine and one of the hens did get Marek’s. She did not recover and we had to put her out of her misery. The other 4 were able to build immunity naturally, but one hen was not quite normal. Foxes got 3 of the others this past Spring. The one that is left is the rooster’s favorite, and apparently smart enough to evade foxes. Her name is Caramel and she’s a sweet, curious hen. In May this year, I ordered 5 more Cream Legbar pullet chicks WITH the Marek’s vaccine. I also ordered Stress Eez to add to their water when they are stressed. This second batch of Cream Legbars is noticeably larger than the first with no changes in feed or environment, so I attribute that to the Marek’s vaccine and Stress Eez. Perhaps the breeding has improved as well? I think the Stress Eez has benefitted our chicks this year. I would recommend getting that to help them recover from the arduous trip to your home. We also add other natural things to the water, but wanted to say I do think that Stress Eez helped.

I ordered 3 Legbars and received 4. They all arrived happy and healthy in Puerto Rico! These have been some of the friendliest chicks I’ve ever raised. I gave them to my broody Orpington hen to raise, and it worked out great. They all love to sit in my lap, hang out, and are always up for attention. I would highly recommend them if you are looking for a fun, sweet chicken to add to your flock!
Andrea Dewey –
I recently added Cream Legbars to my growing flock. I ordered 5, and received 6 lively and healthy chicks. Of the different breeds I’m raising, these chicks have been the most social with us humans and tolerate being handled well. I can’t wait to see the beautiful blue eggs in our nests!
s.kress –
My 2nd order with Cackle (1st order was Welsummers and Bielefelders). As with my 1st order these chicks arrived healthy with zero issues. I had hesitated to order Legbars as I heard how flighty they were but I really wanted blue eggs and didn’t want Ameracaunas. They are only 7 weeks old but I have found them to be sweet, calm, and friendly. I live in S.C. so was able to put them in an outside coop and pen at 5 weeks old. As soon as they see me they are rushing to the door and I have no problem in picking them up and putting them on my lap.
I am retired so I have the luxury of being able to spend time with my chickens and I believe that is vital in obtaining a relationship with your chickens. Even if you only have 15 extra minutes in your day, spend it sitting with your chickens. It will not only help them to accept and come to trust you but it will be a de-stresser for you.
Thanks Cackle for another great hatch of chicks! I’m looking forward to seeing some blue eggs.
Ashley Schoenknecht –
I have docked stars because both of mine lay EXTREMELY SMALL EGGS. The eggs are a gorgeous blue, but just very small, in contradiction to the breed facts that state eggs should be M-L. They are noticeably small when in a carton with actual M eggs. Major bummer.
The chickens themselves are beautiful, feisty, and, as described, they LOVE foraging! If you’re buying them, hopefully you can provide them free roam space.
toddbethell56 –
I’ve run into Lymphoid Leukosis in Legbars several times already among different breeders and hatcheries. LL causes mortality at point of lay and slow maturity. Ordered 25 from Cackle because the reviews didn’t indicate anyone having issues with that and can say that I have not run into it with their birds. More than half started laying under 25 weeks. The quality of the individual birds with regards to SOP is all over the place but honestly with some selection you can get some nice birds. They have both Golden Crele and Cream varieties.
islandgirlsml –
I have to admit, my first experience with Cackle was not a good one. Out of the 16 chicks in the initial order, 11 survived the first 36 hours. Because it was cold here and the length of time it took the post office to deliver, I gave Cackle the benefit of the doubt. Glad I did because these girls arrived full of vigor and sass and every single one is thriving.
Derek Tucker –
I ordered recently Easter Eggers, Olive Eggers and Cream Legbars from Cackle for my flock. My Easter and Olive Eggers are doing amazing, and I beg you to consider filling your flock with those breeds instead of this one. These birds seem to lay a sage green egg which are much smaller than my other hens. In fact my Easter Eggers lay more ‘blue’ eggs than these birds.
The biggest issue is their health, however. I am currently considering culling the last two I have for this reason, as I am at my wit’s end trying to keep them healthy among an otherwise perfectly healthy flock.
I ordered three of these cream legbars hoping to add blue eggs to my daily egg collection. I received one extra making a total of four chicks, which was good because one died a few days in (failure to thrive.) This was expected as a possible outcome. When they got older and were able to be transferred to a coop, it became apparent one was a rooster. I would have kept him because I liked his temperament, but he was absolutely tiny compared to the others in the brood and had very gnarly, curly toes.
The two that remain are in mixed health. One is only just barely as big as my other girls and lays fairly well, but her feathers are so thin that she must always wear a mating saddle (unlike the others who can more or less handle the one rooster I did keep.) I give her breaks in between to clean and rest from the straps, but this is a heck of a chore compared to my other birds who need it much less frequently. The last one is the smallest of every hen I own and needs to be culled because the feathers that should be growing back normally have actually created cysts underneath the skin. Some feathers aren’t coming back at all. I’m at a loss for this because I’ve never seen this in a bird before.
It’s really unfortunate because I love their little fluffy heads and their lovely personalities, but I wish I’d just saved myself the trouble and gotten another breed.

I absololutely love them, I am still waiting for them to lay those awesome light tourquise eggs but they have so much personality and you have to love that fluff on the top of their heads.

Excited to see them offered
I was so excited to see the Cream Legbars available through the Cackle Hatchery this season. My hens are just now 6 months old and haven’t started laying yet.. but it should be soon. I can’t wait! They are super cute , sweet, and have integrated well with the flock.

Great Chickens
Great Chickens, fast shipping. Chicks did great. Was able to auto sex the babies immediately. I got a straight run and half were roosters. It was fun to watch them grow off. Egg colors are really vibrant. I think they have done a nice job representing the breed for basic. These are not show birds. Keep that in mind but they aren’t bad.

Definite Recommend
I was excited to see this breed offered. The colored egg I wanted and the appearance of the bird (male and female) were also very pleasing to me. My birds are now 5 months old. They haven’t laid eggs yet but their temperament is superb in our established, assorted batch of 100 chickens. Even the young roosters are calm. We expect good things from this breed and are very pleased we purchased. Our mail order delivery was 100% live rate – no losses or health issues to date. Our purchasing experience was top notch. Thank you Cackle Hatchery . . . you’re doing a great job providing healthy poultry!

We love the addition of the Cream Legbars. My daughter shows in local fairs and they did very well. The green eggs are beautiful. Fairly docile although the rooster can be a bit protective of his hens.

I really like this breed.
This year is the first time that I have ever had any Legbar chickens, but I decided to order some to see what they are like. Well I really like them, and I am planning to order some more this spring! They are very pretty birds, with a mostly calm personality, not flighty, they are medium sized birds, with moderate flight ability. I am looking forward to their first eggs!

I have had cream legbars for about 5 years and I enjoy them. Great egg layers with blue eggs. Good personalities and very cute with their tuft of feathers on their heads.
Highly recommend to add diversity to your flock.

Gorgeous and friendly
My cream legbar pullets are not only gorgeous but lay beautiful eggs. My egg customers as well as my children love them. The girls look fantastic and came happy and healthy in the mail!
