No flamesbut FYI, not all pullets are dark at hatch
but they should have clearly defined stripes and nice eyeliner preferably. In the UK not all of the cockerels have a dot on their head either, but they should have muted wild type coloring and be at least one to two shades lighter than their fellow pullets. From the pic you mentioned I would have guessed 1 cockerel and two pullets, but we have to remember that cameras can be deceiving too ( flash, natural lighting, angle, etc can change perspective a lot!).
Oh, good. Mine looked so much like a chipmunk when she was tiny. I thought all the females looked like that. I forgot that the UK Cream Legbar breeds have been around much longer, and may have different coloring, in addition to the camera flash, etc.
Out of my four pullets, Nugget is my favorite. She's a week younger than the other girls, but she's so inquisitive and smart (as chickens go
She's also proving to be a bit of a pain, in that at four weeks, she's flying- as in out of the coop if you leave the lid open. She looks so proud of herself when she does that. Her crest is growing in now, and she looks sort of goofy, as if she has perpetual bed-head. I just love her. We were only going to have three chicks, but when I saw the ad on Craigslist for a blue-egg laying chicken, I pounced. I had never heard of Cream Legbars, so I was looking for an Amerucauna. I'm so glad I ended up with my CL. She's adorable.
