Cream Legbars 4 weeks

[dollymamma]

I had two cream legbars sold to me as pullets. I’m certain the larger is a cockerel but I just want to double check. Very leggy and comb is getting a tinge of coral also mannerisms of a cockerel.

Looking like you're right, at least one is a cockerel, but 4 weeks is a little young to tell. At this stage, I usually cross my fingers and say 'don't you dare be a boy' lol

Cream Legbars are autosexing at birth. The seller should have known at 1 day old which sex. The barred one is a cockerel.

Both chicks are CCLs, female on the left, male on the right in both pictures.

I tell them in the incubator how many boys and girls I need, hasn't worked yet, but I'll keep tying.

FWIW, so should the buyer.... this is just another example of why it is so important to be an informed consumer and to learn even the most basic of information, in this case how to sex a legbar chick, about the animals one wishes to take on
