Crested Cream Legbars are relatively new to the US. They were imported by Greenfire Farms who sold started juveniles last summer and fall, and sold day old chicks after that. This breed is autosexing, meaning that you can easily visually distinguish the boys from the girls at hatch, and this autosexing trait breeds true from generation to generation. Boys have a white spot to white blotching on their heads while female chicks have clearly defined chipmunk stripes. My male chicks have "fuzzy" chipmunk stripe with coloration ranging from dark brown to dark charcoal and various amounts of white on both head and body. My female chicks are uniformly consistent chestnut brown with darker chipmunk stripe down the back and no white anywhere.
I received my day old chicks directly from Greenfire Farms last November. My pullets began laying at 22 weeks. Only the first eggs laid were light sky blue. Now they are uniformly light mint green. I made a mint cheesecake with artificial green food color. These eggs remind me of that color only lighter. Everyone else is describing these eggs as "sky blue" or "robin's egg blue". I guess I just don't see it that way. They are pretty eggs in any case.
