Cream Legbar Working Group: Standard of Perfection

The four in the upper-left quarter look like girls to me, and possibly the one that's still a little wet, in the 8 o' clock position relative to the feed dish.

I have a batch of 21 hatched out of 24 eggs. They are only 4 pullets (chipmunk) out of 21. I am new to Cream Legbar so would like some input sexing these chicks.

This looks like all of my CLB hatches this year!! whats up with all the boys?

That one is a pullet. However, I have another chick, which not sure if CL or not.

If a CL, this looks to me to be a female. The back stripe is not as solid as it should be.

Thanks everyone for the help. I have an Orpington broody hen and slower add them to her. I will add the light color cockerels and pullets last.

I hatched some Cream Legbars and one chick came out white. Is there such a thing as a white Cream Legbar.

Thanks

Standardized? No. But every line, I think, has carried a white recessive gene that shows up if two of your breeders have it. A couple of people have been working on the whites. They're pretty and auto sexing.

The white Cream Legbars are called White Sports. There is a thread on BYC about them.
