Cream Leg Bars? male/female or not at all?

[Araucana Nest]

I ordered Jill Rees line CCL from a breeder and couldn't tell the females from males. I also have the production line of CCL from a hatchery and could clearly tell the difference.

I’ve heard that about some of the breeder lines as well! The funny thing about these that I have are that none of them have a white spot whatsoever, though as you can see from the photos some do not have clearly defined chipmunk stripes. Most seem to have the eyeliner. According to the hatchery they are vent sexed so 90% of these checks should be female! Time will tell

Very interested in hearing the outcome a few weeks from now. Please keep us posted

Ok all of you Cream Legbar experts out there! I took several photos and color banded the 7 left of the 10 hatchery chicks (3 went to their new homes already). Let me know what you think. Only one is classically marked as a female, with the uniterrupted dark band starting with the V. NONE have the spot on the head and again they were vent sexed as female with 90% accuracy. So if the color ambiguity is real then would the "purple" be female or even she could be a male? I am still confused about all of the this, as you can see I can not let it go!
Each bird is identified by the color band, 4 photos of each starting with the overhead view. "purple" has 5 photos as she was posing so nicely!
Thank you all for any input.
