We have 2 Cream Legbars that lay beautiful blue eggs, well they used to.  They layed for a year after we bought them and we have now had a year of them not laying at all.  Do Cream Legbars have a very short laying life?  They were supposed to be POL, but looked a bit maturer than that, but don't look old now.  I'm really missing my beautiful blue eggs, but don't want to buy more Legbars if this is a problem with them.  Can anyone advise please.

I bought six and have two left. They stopped laying when they moulted about August last year - nt a sign of an egg since. I also bought them POL last Spring. I haven't given up hope and they are lovely birds, especially in their new plumage.

they are cute.

They are definitely my favorite looking birds, Delia is especially beautiful.  Infact, Rosemary, I think I originally found this site through Googling Legbars and sent you a photo of Delia to ask your opinion of whether she was true to her breed!  We bought her from a rather dodgy farm.

I don't like having non-productive hens, but I don't think I could kill them just 'cause they don't produce eggs.  Maybe I'll end up with 30 hens, spending a fortune on feed and then going to the shops to buy eggs!

Blue egg yesterday! They must have known we were talking about them!

lol, no such luck for me!  I've separated them into an ark to see if they are laying.  I thought that maybe they spent last summer laying away from the sheds.  Delia is looking fabulous and really ought to be laying I think.  Doris still looks like she has the winter/moulting blues.
