Cream Legbar Working Group: Standard of Perfection

[kris86AR]

Two different hens eggs on left. Same hen on right. (Three different hens laid these eggs)

What about wing bands? Thoughts and input on them?
And what color do you consider these eggs (color blind and need some help).

Might be lighting but back left looks quite greenish front left and back right appear to be the same with a greenish tint and the front right looks the most blue. Though Id call 3 of the 4 blue in the cream legbar spectrum

Sounds like wing bands or toe punches are definitely way to go

I agree that legbands are a pain in the hiney when dealing with little bitty chicks. It takes a while to change them out and I am always concerned I will hurt the little guys.

Can someone help me sex this crested cream leg bar chicks #1, #2 and #5?

Chick #1: (This one appears female CL)





Chick #2: Update: Crested Cream Legbar. Maybe a female? It has a very small white dot on its head but darker back down








Chick #4: Update: Crested Cream Legbar. Male?,






Top view of all chicks: (the one on the top right and the one by the thermometer are the Golden Cuckoo Marans, the others are Crested Cream Legbars).

To my understanding all the ones with the dots are boys. Regardless of the color dow its back but i could be wrong.

Females can have head spots too. Usually they are small and are contained within the V of the chipmunk stripping.

Chick #1 looks female. Chick #2 is possibly female with some unclear auto sexing. In the first pic you posted it looks male with the diffuse head spot. In the 2nd pic it looks more female as the head spot looks more contained in the V. In the group shot without the red light the two in the center look female. So I am not completely sure. Chick #4 is male.

 

[NewHen]

Thanks. The two in the middle are definitely my female (which also has a very, very small white dot) and my #2 which only has a small white dot on its head. I'm crossing my fingers.
