Are Welbars an auto sexing breed?

What's the difference between auto sex and sex link?

Autosexing breeds true generation after generation and sex linking only works for the first crossing.

Yes, Welbars are an auto-sexing breed. The males are yellow and the females have dark stripes on them.

The males aren't yellow but there is a clear distinction between the sexes as chicks (I keep this breed)

Okay, and Welbars will breed true generation after generation?

Yes. I keep welbars and can say with certainty that they breed true and are delightful birds to keep. They have great personalities, calm, lay well, lay beautiful reddish brown eggs, don't go broody, have high fertility for incubating, and are easily sexed at hatch. I got mine from Strombergs and I believe they drop ship from Privet. I've raised several generations and they always breed true and are easily sexed.
