Feather sexing is not necessarily tied to breed, but more about how the parent stock is bred. That is explained well in the link that was posted.

Barred rock is one I can think of that is not a hybrid and can be color sexed.
 
Okay - I am a new chicken momma ( very new ) ... and I really am trying to learn as much as I can, so forgive this question ( that I am sure everyone but me knows ) .. What the heck is feathed sexing ???

Ah ha! That is the secret to the Legbars then!

Cream Legbars are not yet in the US, but they can be color sexed at hatching as well. I think these are a few of the only purebreds that can be color sexed right off, most are sex-link hybrids.
