Cream legbars

[EggsAreMyJam]

Got a couple straight run cream legbar chicks. I think they are both males. Can someone help me confirm this?

Welcome to BYC.

I've never owned CCLs, but from my own experience with autosexing chicks, those look male to me. Did you want males?

No we wanted at least 1 female. We got them from McMurray hatchery and they were straight run so we were taking a gamble! We will just have to get more I guess lol

Ccl are autosexed so I don’t know why they would sell you straight run.

After looking at Cream Legbar chicks on the google image, I think there are several different strains. The striped one might be a female, but the blonde definitely isn't.

I was thinking the same thing after I looked into them a little more. I was also hoping since they were so easily sexed whoever sent them to us would have at least been kind and sent at least 1 female. We paid 10$ each and got 2 males we are a bit disappointed.

Please try again - this time post your photos at "what breed or gender is this." Do mention their age in photo. They are adorable chicks but, I am not familiar with the breed.

I really don't understand how anyone can legitimately sell CCLs straight run! There is a huge difference between male and female. I would definitely complain, because there is no reason for them to send you 2 males! I got my original CCLs from a local breeder and then added some from Greenfire Farms. I've also bought fertile eggs and hatched them many times. Always easy to tell them apart. I would write to them first and send them the photos. Then call them and . That $10 price is odd. I've paid $35 each for my day old CCL pullets, and sold them for the same price.

I had someone suggest that who I bought from more than likely had a ton of males to offload and Marked the price down and listed them as straight run selling the chance to get a female. I'm inclined to believe it from everything I have read and am hearing.
