Westerdale Farms Land Fowl Golden Crele Legbar

Golden Crele Legbar

Golden Crele Legbar

We have had a few color varieties of Legbar over the years but are continuing to focus on Golden Crele, Crested Cream Legbar and Blue Legbar for the next few years. 

We have carefully selected our hens for deeper salmon chests and a more warmly colored body. The males are more richly colored. In the past the egg color from the creles has been lighter blue but we have selected the darkest eggs over the years and are getting some gorgeous azur blue eggs.  We have also added in a couple new lines to use for 2023. Egg size is also larger with the golden crele which I like. We have won many egg competitions with these eggs. Decent egg layers that are great foragers. They are light to medium weight, auto-sexing and we have only ever had a few go broody over the years. Hens typically weigh around 5.5 pounds and males weigh around 7 pounds.   If you are looking for bright blue hatching eggs or chicks these are the sky blue eggs for you!

There is a proposed Standard of Perfection for the Legbar, but currently not accepted by the APA.

 

Nature: Alert, quick, Excellent foragers, smart,

Egg Color:  sky blue egg color

Eggs per year: 250 plus
