List of breeds that can be auto-sexed

I put an ISA Brown hen in with a Wheaten Ameracauna Roo. to get some variety in with my egg color. I got 100% hatch on those eggs and some have distinct Chipmunk markings and others don't. Anyone know if this could be a notation of sex? Thanks!

Does anyone know if you cross for instance Legbars and Rhodebars if you maintain the autosexing? And Welsummers, Bielefelders and Dorkings,if you can still autosex if a combination of those breeds. I just hatched from my 2 pens, as mentioned above just for fun) and some look to be sexable, I am going to divide them into 2 brooders and see if those I thought were a specific sex if they are.....
 
Okay Auto-sexing (not to be confused with sex linked-that is when you cross 2 different breeds to get chicks you can sex at hatch), I have 6 breeds of autosexing (well 5 for sure,and the 6th I am told you can but another person told me possibly not but since its a breed to raise for meat it really doesnt matter).
Crested Cream Legbar (blue eggs)
Rhodebar (brown eggs)
Silver Dorkings (white eggs)
Wellsummers (darker than normal but not as dark as Marans-brown eggs)
Bielefelders (brown eggs)
And the not for sure
Cuckoo Malines
How do you sex silver Dorkings?
 
I also have a question related to this; can a brown leghorn be sexed at hatch? Do the females look different, either with patterns or a slight color difference, when they're babies? I've have goolged things for days and cannot find any clear answers. And other people I have asked at feed stores and hatcheries don't know if the brown leghorn male looks different from a female as chicks. Trying to figure figure out if the male chick we ordered is indeed a male, or if we were given a female by mistake. Everything I've read about color markings in females tells me that we have a she and not a he. Very disappointed:/
