Sexing these chicks is all about the crisp V-shape on females, forget about the head spot next time you hatch some and like magic you will start seeing the females from the males.
as long as they keep their chick down you will be able to sex them of course.
Females are known to have a head spot, not only on cream leg bars, but on other autosexing breeds like Rhodebars, but forget about the headspot, what you most focus on it’s on the V-shaped head stripes, double barred males will have a messy head pattern, you can’t make out any pattern and the...
for those of you that would like to see how would an all cream colored bird would look like(not quite Self Cream but close)
here
Cream Db Restricted Male
Cream Columbian Restricted Male
and Lavender Columbian Restricted Male which produces a very light cream color some may find nice
Both of you males have good color, but the one on the right of my comparison pic(I just used paint for such comparison) has more Type and the Grey Barring on hackle and saddle is much better than the one on the left, the one on the left seems to be too devoided of barring on saddle and hackle...

Oh and this is How a Legbar Male Pattern be, with Clearly Barred Secondaries(I did a bad Paint Job here but you get the point)
the Sulmtalers are about the Only other single comb bird with a nice Noticeable crest,
but thats because their comb placement is different than the Cream Legbars and also they have smaller combs than the legbars
not quite.. red enhancers also play an effect here, cream is jut the phenotype, while you can have a cream phonotype without actually having cream... and you can have a genotypically cream bird that will not look like it due to red enhancers or other modifiers
