There are three cream legbars, the other two are half silkie, half legbar (broody mama was a silkie, figured she should get a few of her own babies too). One of the legbars is obviously a hen, no head spot and dark stripes. The other two (pictured) are questionable. Both have stripes down their backs and on their eyes, but both also have head spots. One head spot is large, one is pretty small. Pictures were taken at one day old... hens or roos?? First two pics are first chick, last two pics are second chick

I think the first chick is a pullet and the second chick is a cockerel... but I'm far from an expert on tricky Legbar chicks.
That's also my best guess, but I figured I'd ask others as well. The third one is very clearly a hen, but she didn't dry off well and I cleaned off her eyes, so I didn't post her since she doesn't look quite as cute and fluffy lol.
 
I agree with a pullet and cockerel. I'm seeing a few people that have girls with large headsopts, but the overall appearance looks female
 
As an update (because I know I've scoured the internet before and wanted updates), these are the same chicks at a week old. Color changed a lot, made it more obviously one rooster and one hen. Also, if anyone is interested in Cream Legbar hatching eggs, shoot me a message!
