Cream legbar pullet?

[Alydup]

I have a roughly 7 week old cream legbar which I was told are auto sexing and she was a she based on the dark colouring. Her comb seems so prominent though it makes me second guess. I am new to this breed. Thoughts?

Birds look way younger then 7 weeks,both,did you just get them?

Neither looks like my female Cream Legbar. But then I've only ever had 1.

Maybe some other variety in the Legbar family?

Here are a female (on the left) and a male (right). Before the comb matures you should be able to see the cute little crest feathers on a female. When the comb comes in it will displace much of it. But early on it's REAL clear who is a female and who is a male.

Only the brown one is roughly 7 weeks. I’ve had them for 4 weeks. The other two are around 5 weeks.

Ok well all the chicks with a white head she said were the Roos and the dark heads pullets. It was a very clear difference but mine is definitely lacking a crest . Did you have yours as chicks?

I just found another thread with pics of multiple cream legbars weekly and this is definitely a cockerel! I got the breed because it was autosexing! This is a little bit devastating for me

I am sorry, but I agree that it appears to be a cockerel. But IMO it doesn’t really look like a Legbar. The legs and beak are the wrong color, the chest feathers are not barred, the body feathers look a bit reddish, and the head is very dark. Maybe it is an (accidental) cross?

For reference, here is my legbar cockerel as a youngster

Yes.

That's a cockerel and not a Cream Legbar, sorry.
