Cream Legbar pullet or cockerel chick?

[Lady of McCamley]

I think it looks like a pullet...it may be lighter red/barred than the others. I have one of those with lighter red barring and was a lighter chipmunk as a chick.

They look like pullets to me!

The pics are a little hard for sexing (though CL should be easily sexable) but every time I look at these pics Im not sure why but I am tempted to say the middle chick is male, I could be wrong though, It could just be an indistinct female.

Either way, if any chick is not easily recognizable as male or female at hatch, they should never be used for breeding in an auto sexing breed.

Sorry...where's my brain today...you are saying Cream Legbar...I'm thinking Rhodebar.

Yes, that could very well be a Cream Legbar male...they often are pale chipmunk compared to the dark chipmunk of the girl.

So I think it could be male...especially with the light eye mark. I'm calling male on that one (now that I've got my brain on the right autosexing -bar type breed)

All autosexing breeds should be easily autosexed...never breed forward that which isn't.

Sigh, I guess it's time to wait for the first crow or the first egg!
I don't breed chickens so no need to worry about the forward hatches--but I did very specifically and at huge cost order Auto sexed pullets. Two out of four being male? A joke!

Not that I'm bitter. It's not the chicks fault!

Then you should have recourse...auto sexed means you should have gotten what you wanted...did it say straight run? Or pullets only?

There is no reason to get roosters if you ordered auto sexed pullets only...they should refund then.

I was refunded for the first chick that was both male and died. But the judge is out on this one!

I am 99.9% sure that it is a pullet, unless this particular line has some kind of fault so that they aren't autosexable. What makes you think it is a cockerel and not the others?
