Expert Guide: Cream Crested Legbar Hatching & Care
Why are Legbar eggs blue?
The Cream Crested Legbar is the most popular purebred blue egg layer in the UK. Unlike breeds that have a brown coating on the shell, the blue pigment (oocyanin) in Legbar eggs goes all the way through the shell. Our strain is selected for a consistent, vibrant sky-blue shade.
How to use Autosexing at hatch
One of the biggest benefits of Legbars is being “Autosexing.” You can tell the gender the moment they hatch!
• Females: Have a dark, distinct “chipmunk” stripe down their back and a small, sharp head spot.
• Males: Have a much paler, blurred stripe and a large, diffused white head spot.
Incubation & Hatching Tips
For the best results with our 96% fertile eggs, we recommend a 24-hour “settling” period at room temperature (pointy end down) before incubating.
