Crested Cream Legbar... Cockerel?

[chickenfarmergal]

I'm a total newbie and I am about 98% sure this is a cockerel but since this is my first hatch of Legbars I'm not confident. Sorry pictures are large

I think its much too young to tell

I second that. Extremely young to tell.

Since Cream Legbars are autosexing I was hoping someone would have a good eye and could help.

I agree, looks male.

Can you post a picture when the chick is dry? I can't tell if it has a head spot or not. It doesn't look like it has one (so a pullet), but it might be more clear when the chicks is dry.

The head is yellow with no visible head spot. But it doesn't have eyeliner and the marking on the back is blurry so that's what is making me think this is a cockerel.

With no head spot, I'd guess light colored female. Every cockerel I've seen has had a head spot and been gray colored (but there are some lines that produce blond cockerels).

It's a cockerel. CCL aren't supposed to be sexed by head spots.
