Don’t think this is a cream crested leghorn

[Teresa1974]

Hi
I’m new here and hatched 5 out of 6 shipped supposedly cream crested leghorns but I have 2 that look like this so I’m confused ‍ this is my first hatch also. Can any one help also when can they be sexed please.
Thank you

Do you mean Legbars?
Those look like CCL males

This is an auto sexing breed. Males are light, females are dark. You appear to have got what you paid for.

Welcome to BYC.

Congratulations on your successful hatch. If you do a search on BYC you will find quite a LOT about Cream Legbars. As the other poster mentioned Cream Legbars are an autosexing breed. For mine, at hatch time the white head splotch was the real tell for males, and for females it is the chipmunk stripes on their back. If you got a mix with a Leghorn, you should still have good egg-layers in the ones that grow up to be hens.

Legbars are a great breed. There's a wealth of information here. My female Legbars produced their first eggs at about 24-weeks.

They look like little cream legbar boys to me. Girls will be darker. I had one hatch a couple of weeks ago and it's definitely a girl (but she doesn't have a crest yet like some of my others have). I'm not sure if that's what you meant or if they are crossed with Leghorn. In that case, I don't know.

Did you mean Legbars? Chick looks right for a Cream Legbar cockerel. Were the eggs blue?

Yeah I did,the eggs were blue. Looks like I will have to find a home for the both of them
