“We got Amy, our only CCL (Crested Cream Legbar, as described by the hatchery we used) in early 2015. That's only a sample of one, but we'll get at least one more the next time we order chicks. We paid $35, which is a lot for one chick, but she's been way more than worth the small extra cost. Amy has been a great pet and a good layer. Lots of quirky personality, graceful and athletic, independent and a good forager. The breed has a reputation for being flighty and some say unfriendly. Amy loves being held, but she plays a teasing game, and she likes to be grabbed suddenly and picked up. Then she falls asleep, snuggled in our arms.”
“Of all of our breeds of chickens, this one is the family favorite! Our cream legbar is so friendly, so sweet and was the first of the flock to start laying (at 21 weeks). She is so comfortable with us that she will sit for extended periods of time and even laid an egg on one of my son‚Äôs lap! My children also sneak her in the house sometimes because they adore her so much!”
“New favorite chicken breed! Even my husband who insists the chickens are ‚Äúmy thing‚Äù loves this chicken! Layed first egg at 5 months old and such a beautiful shade of sage green! She is incredibly friendly and super curious in anything we do. Will definitely be buying more!”
“I used my pet chicken to order my first chicks there was so helpful and courteous on the phone and my chicks arrive happy and healthy at 2 weeks old now they are thriving I would highly recommend my pet chicken to anyone thinking of ordering baby chicks.”
“I purchased from MPC in April of 2018 and bought 4 rare breed assortments. One arrived dead (which was refunded), and the rest were: 1 Columbian Wyandotte, 1 Olive Egger, and 1 Cream Legbar. Initially, the cream legbar suffered from a leg problem and couldn't walk properly for weeks...cheeping constantly. We lovingly named her "Chit Chat" because of all the peeping. She has matured to be completely normal (although very skittish) and now lays us BIG and beautiful blue eggs. We have easter eggers that lay blue eggs, but Chit Chat's eggs are noticeably a more rich blue color. I get probably 4 eggs from her a week and couldn't be happier. I am going to pay full price and order another one this year because I've been so pleased with her. Very happy with my choice last year to try the value-priced rare breed assortment first. Thanks MPC!”
“My Cream Legbar looks just like the one in the photo. She‚Äôs very pretty and started laying gorgeous aqua blue eggs at 22 weeks. She is friendly and a great forager but she is noisy! Fingers crossed the neighbors don‚Äôt complain!”
“I had ordered a coupe of rare breed chicks and had to throw in some Easter Eggers to keep everyone warm. I got a bunch of nice healthy chicks, as usual. Imagine my surprise when my 2 "Easter Eggers" ended up being Cream Legbars. I'm not sure why or how it happened, but what crazy incredible hens these are! You are going to make me buy a Cream Legbar Roo now! Thank you AGAIN My Pet Chicken!”
“My Cream Legbar is just barely 5 months old and the first of my girls to lay! She is absolutely the most beautiful girl! Larger than I expected her to be, she's the same size as my Australorp, Buff Orp and Brown Leghorn, all ordered at the same time from MPC. I'm hoping that her egg size gets a bit bigger as she matures, the first few are on the small side. The eggs are just a hint of blue. Very happy with her and the other birds from MPC.”
