The Legbar is a rare British autosexing chicken breed.It was created in the early twentieth century by cross-breeding Barred Plymouth Rock chicken, Leghorns, Cambars, and in the case of Cream Legbars, Araucanas.The Araucana blood in the Cream Legbar is reflected in its crest and blue to blue-green eggs.
The aim was to create an autosexing utility breed with a focus on egg laying, where male and female day old chicks could easily be sexed by their colour.
It is considered a rare breed by the Poultry Club of Great Britain, and falls under the Rare Poultry Society.
