Hello!
I'm totally new to this forum and new-ish to keeping chickens, so sorry if I have broken any rules or general etiquette points.
I purchased three (cream) legbar chicks two days ago. Chose this breed because they autosex, apparently. The breeder told me that they had hatched six boys and three girls, which was lucky as I wanted three girls.
However, having looked online I'm now unsure if these ones are actually female. Two of them have a yellow mark on their head, which is a sign of a male chick.
I'd really like to know now, so I could return them if possible, rather than falling in love with these tiny creatures and having my neighbours protest at the sound later down the line.
From these pictures, do you think these are male or female chicks?
