word was published on the internet that Jill Ree's hen Lillian died in July 2015. RIP Lillian - and our sympathy to Jill - Lillian's fan Club members everywhere are sorry to hear of the loss. Photos Used with owners permission Pictured directly above is "Lillian" owned by Jill Rees who lives in Evesham in the Cotswolds, England. In 2012 - Jill and her hens swept the poultry exhibitions winning first, second and third place in a local poultry show, and then first and second place in the National Poultry Show of Great Britian and finally first, second and third in the Federation Championship Poultry Show at Stafford. We consider Jill's hen, the most 'winning' example to date of Cream Legbars - or perhaps the "Cream of the Crop". Nice work Jill, and thank you for granting permission to use the photos. It seems that everyone, not just the UK Poultry judges love Lillian. Lillian can be seen frequently on the Internet.
