Cream legbar genetics

[chicksonline]

So I have a CL roo and CL hens to breed but,
I read somewhere that autosexed golden comets when you breed golden comets together you don’t get a golden comet chick.
Is this true? And does this happen with CL too? Or would I be able to get auto sexed cream legbar chicks?

You are confusing autosexing with sex-linkage. An autosexing breed breeds true, and has genes to enhance the differences between male and female chick down, namely the barring gene on an e+ wild type or eb partridge base.

A red sex link, however, is created by putting a red Cockerel over silver hens. As hens only have one "slot" for ground-colour, all the pullets will get one red gene from dad. The boys, however, have two, a red from dad and silver from mum. As silver is dominant over gold, the male chicks will display as silver.

So this means my legbars would breed true?

Yes. Cream legbars breed true. Other autosexing breeds are bielefelders and neiderrhieners
