Any Cream Legbar experts?

[CSDeVault]

Hello,

I hatched 3 cream legbar chicks. I had assumed 2 were male, 1 female. 2 exhibited brown stripes with one having noticably darker stripe (which I assumed was a hen). Here is a pick when chicks (sorry not the best) and some recent pics. Any thoughts on hen/roo? Thank you.

They all look female. The males have lighter coloring whereas these have female partridge coloring.

So, I am far from an expert on this breed, but I currently have four CCL chicks that look to be right about the same size as yours. Three of mine are girls, and one is a boy. My boy is much lighter gray and is sprouting a pretty good comb here at a bit over five weeks of age. All three of yours look like my ladies. Based on my limited experience and comparing pics, I’d be surprised if you had a roo in there.

@dheltzel knows all about legbars if i'm not mistaken.

Your beautiful young pullets don't bear any resemblance to either one of my cockerels! Congratulations!

These are my sweet Legbars.

The boy is usually a lot lighter and Comb comes in fairly quick. These two are just over 6 weeks old ☺

Also a pic of them as chicks ♥

I'd love to have some of these hens but I'll have to thin my flock Or build a bigger coop lol

I have two Creme Legbar pullets at around 7 weeks. These are the photos for comparison. I'm still waiting for their little crests to start popping up! I wonder if they won't get any at this rate. Their temperaments are so sweet and gentle, proper lap ladies already
