Good morning,
I have been asked what breed lays the Pale blue hint of blue egg on our tray :-

It is our Cream crested leg bar we breed. 🐣
I believe they are now under Rare Breed Survival Trust categorizes the broader Legbar family (which includes the Cream Legbar) on their watchlist.

Here are a few more fascinating facts about these chickens:

Cream Crested leg-bar Lays a blue to soft turquoise-green eggs,each hen can lay one type of shade, the overall flock can produce a pastel blue to light olive-green eggs.

(Ours we breed are light blue)

The Cream legbar is a small to medium size breed and has a slim body shape with a long neck and a small head(Girls usually having a crown like little tufted of feathers on their heads).

They have a triangular face with a straight beak and large, bright red wattles and comb.

They are friendly and curious ☺️They are an active breed, constantly foraging, and exploring their surroundings.
They are often docile,easy to handle, making them a great breed for families with children.

They are social birds and enjoy the company of other chickens. If properly socialized, they will happily share a coop with other breeds and integrate easily into a mixed flock.

Egg-laying Abilities
One of the most impressive traits of the Cream Legbar is its egg-laying abilities. They are considered a high-production breed, meaning they lay a large number of eggs throughout the year.

The eggs are a light blue to green color with a cream undertone, making them highly sought after by egg enthusiasts,to have rainbow colour eggs in their egg basket In addition to being visually striking.

Behaviour: They are active during the day and often like to roost on perches.Make great pets,friendly and good for built up areas as they dont quack, dont make a noise..so no up setting your neighbours

Parenting: Muscovy ducks can be protective mothers and are good at raising their young.

Other facts
Lifespan: They can live 8–12 years in the wild but up to 20 years in captivity.They often engage in duck wagging when they're happy or content. This behavior may occur after eating a satisfying meal, taking a refreshing swim, or spending time with companions. Tail wagging in these moments is similar to the way dogs wag their tails.Muscovies are usually gentle, quieter than other duck breeds, and can coexist peacefully with chickens.

🐔🥚 Our holiday girls are settling in beautifully, enjoying their stay and laying lovely eggs! 🥚🐔

A little tip for fellow chicken keepers…

Don’t throw your nettles away! Once they’ve been dried or wilted (never feed them raw), they make a great natural treat for your hens.

🌿 Dried nettles are rich in vitamins A, C and K, as well as calcium and iron, making them a nutritious addition to a balanced diet. Many poultry keepers also find they can help produce lovely rich orange egg yolks thanks to their natural plant pigments.

They’re free to forage, easy to grow (although best kept contained!) and can even provide a little shade in the run while growing.

I always feed nettles in the afternoon, after my girls have eaten their good-quality layers pellets first, so they get all the nutrition they need before enjoying their treats.
