These are one day old chicks, Cream Legbar. I see 2 males, 1 female. What about the other 3? Thanks!

Did the other three turn out to be female? Tractor supply has a pullet bin full of cream legbars that look exactly like those three, dark but with a white spot in the head. I put them back for fear they’re roosters.These are one day old chicks, Cream Legbar. I see 2 males, 1 female. What about the other 3? Thanks!

I knew it. Tractor Supply has only these in a bin that says cream Legbar Pullets. So glad I passed on these. Thanks for the confirmationI ended up with 5 roosters and only 1 hen!! The white dot definitely means male, in my case!
The females have a small undefined head spot (speck) and deep colors .The males chicks have faded colors and large head spots.I ended up with 5 roosters and only 1 hen!! The white dot definitely means male, in my case!
Look for chicks with distinctive chipmunk colors that aren't faded or fuzzy. My males were blonde and had barring on their wing tips if that helps. The older hens don't allow my cockerels to roost in the coop yet so they still roost side by side in the main run.I knew it. Tractor Supply has only these in a bin that says cream Legbar Pullets.

I actually bought 2 cream legbars from tractor supply last year and they definitely did not have any spots at all.
