One of my hens hatched 5 CL chicks yesterday from hatching eggs. I’m pretty confident 3 and 4 are females (they also have very distinct eye markings), and 5 is a male. 1 and 2 are iffy to me.

This is my first time hatching Cream Legbars so I was hoping some of you with more experience with this breed would hop on here with your expertise!!

Sorry for the crappy photos… it’s been a nasty, rainy day here. I can get better photos if needed 😊

Thanks in advance!!

I am pretty sure 1 and 2 are pullets. I wouldn’t use them for breeding (if you do plan to breed) due to their coloring not being very sharp and distinct.
I was leaning toward pullets for 1 and 2 as well, but also thought their coloring wasn’t distinct enough to tell for sure. I had thought of breeding at some point if we produced a couple that were good enough quality to start with.

Thanks for your reply!
