I ordered these chicks sexed and assumed they would be easy to differentiate since they are cream legbars. But I had 2 pullets- (I think) die hours after arriving . One was a very light golden color, but no spot on head. I tossed them without thinking about it but upon closer inspection of the survivors I can't tell what gender these 2 are. The rest are obvious. Is anyone out there with experience certain? Are these gender fluid from woke yolks? I'm thinking pullets due to the darker stripe, but i definitely see white spots.

Hopefully someone can chime. Can you get some better photos of the group one. I’m not familiar with this breed. But I have read about some poor quality cream legbar being difficult to autosex. Not sure if this is poor quality , as I’m not familiar with the breed. :hmm Sorry not to helpful. That said the second photo looks dark chipmunk. From what I’ve read males are light.

These are the other, easy to identify, chicks.

Do you have some face photos? Females will have more of an eyeliner and boys won’t. The two are lighter , but I’m not sure. I know some females can have the white dot. And that males do not have the chipmunk stripe. I’m just unsure if those would equal to or not to a chipmunk stripe. Hoping others suggest who are familiar with this breed. I’m sure there are those who have the eye 👁 for knowing this auto sexing breed.
 
I agree with the better face pics. I've had a handful of legbars, so right now I'm leaning more towards male. None of my girls have ever had any sort of white on them.

This might be helpful. The one on the right looks a lot like your mystery chick to me.

Those lighter babies with the spot may be male but I have seen photos of some that were poorly defined and hard to tell.

These are some babies I hatched a while back. The boys are much lighter with a head spot. There are 2 boys and 7 girls. Was a great hatch!
Maybe this will help.
