Bonus Chick from Cackle - OE or Cream Legbar?

[MoutonNoir]

Is anyone able to positively identify this surprise chick? Also - does the white spot mean it’s a little cockerel?

Thanks in advance for your help!!!

Often bonus chicks from hatcheries are cockerels. This does look like a cream legbar cockerel. You will know for sure as he ages. If it is a CL the males look totally different that the females as they feather. Cute chick!

The white spot indicates positive for barring.. it only means cockerel in sex linked matings.

If it is pure CCL then it would have been autosexing according to down color at hatch.. Do you remember or have any pics from the early days..

What is the age?


In my experience.. "packing peanuts" may be male.

But "extra" as in those sent in case any die during shipping have always been in line with my order.. not purposely given males.

It’s about 2.5 weeks old. I ordered all females since I hatched 7/7 roosters this spring. Lol
