So I know cream legbar are auto sexing but this is my first ever hatch and we have different breeds so unsure and don't have another chick to compare to as this is our only cream legbar. I'm guessing female..

Because it looks like a male.
No well defined pattern. That's what happens when they get two copies of the barring gene.

This is really interesting. I think it has defined markings along the back, will try add a better picture
 
This chick does not look quite like a cream leg bar. The auto sexing trait has diminished quite a bit in certain lines. Sometimes it’s better to look at the eyeliner on the chick, the ones with the more well-defined eyeliner are more likely female.😊

Having a look on Google I notice the females stripe on the back goes down the neck too whereas ours doesn't, but it does have the darker brown colour like the female. Guess we'll find out soon enough 😉
