White Legbar chicken hatcheries and breeders
White Legbar chickens go by several other names, including:
Frost Legbars
Frosted Cream Legbars
Frost White Legbars
White Sport Cream Legbars
These are all the same variety of Legbar—you’ll just see that different hatcheries have different names for them.
White Legbar chickens have been developed out of Cream Legbar chickens. Some Cream Legbars carry a recessive trait for white feathering, and when these Legbars mate, they usually produce some all-white offspring—the White Legbar.
When breeders breed these white sports together, they get more white offspring.
White Legbar chickens are rare and beautiful birds with all the same traits as their Cream Legbar progenitors. They offer you another variety with which to adorn your backyard.
