Crested Cream Legbar.
The cream crested Legbar is a busy chicken, always on the go.
It is not as big as some large fowl, but the cock is very protective of it's hens and chases off any predators.
They are happy in a spacious compound or free ranging.
This breed gets on well in a mixed flock of similar sized birds.
