help sexing my cream legbar! boys or girls???

[Mk_lanch]

hi, so every year i buy some eggs online and incubate them. this year i chose to put 6 polands under my broody and 6 legbars in the incubator!
the leg bars finished hatching out in the early hours of the morning.
out of the 6 eggs we had 4 hatch ( 1 wasnt fertile and the other died on around day 12 from a detached air cell)
there is 1 that im pretty sure is a girl, but the other 3 look like boys....which to be honest is a bit disappointing as i cant keep the boys when they start to crow.
im going to post the pictures below to get others opinions.
boys or girls?

all pictures attached
i couldn't get individual as i couldn't hold the camera and the chicks at the same time.

anyone?

It does look to me like there is only one pullet
But hopefully some legbar breeders will chime in to confirm.

I'd have to guess 3 cockerels and 1 pullet also. You have my luck! My only hatch all year that has been female heavy was still only 7 of 11.

@duluthralphie can chime in too.

3 roos, 1 pullet. They’re adorable!

It looks like 2 and 2 to me.. I need pictures from directly overhead to be sure.

Thanks, I still see two girls.

That said the “non-standard” color chicks make it hard to tell.

The girls can have white spots on their heads. The spot on them is within the chipmunk stripes.

The one is off color but I think I see her spot within the lines. I would not breed her though.

We need to keep the birds that are easiest to autosex at hatch so we do not lose that trait in the Creams and Gold Creoles. I know some people claim to be able to sex whites, I cannot.

If you do not belong to the “Cream Legbar Club” I suggest you join it which would give you access to more information on this wonderful breed and will help us get the breed recognized by the APA .

I have about 50 legbars right now, I will be breeding maybe 4 creams next year. After I make a major road trip to find the perfect Rooster. I show birds and need to bring in new genes... let me know if your extra guy is good enough!!

Good luck!
