Why are some breeds in duckwing autosexing and some are not? I have silver duckwing and gold duckwing OEGBs and they are autosexing.

Not reliable. Yellow shanks?

In my OEGBs it has been 100% accuracy. They have white skin and shanks.

That would work too. White and yellow shanks are due to a sexlinked factor Id. males have double dose.

Blue Cream Light Browns at 14 weeks old. They have one more molt to adult feathers/coloring. I am waiting to see what they look like then to make my decisions. I have another BCLB pullet, 2 CLB pullets, and 2 CLB cockerels. That is all I hatched this year. I am hoping at least to keep a BCLB pullet and one of the boys. I hate waiting so long to make decisions on who to keep for breeding. I am keeping both BCLB pullets, but I think the one not pictured will just be a pet.

So lovely! Leg color is great and the cockerel looks to be developing a nice tail and wing set. But that pullet is just awful ... you need to box her up and send her my way right now before she scares your other birds. I have a LB roo that won't care that she's so "sub par" (jk of course ... she's gorgeous!)

ETA:
Your cockerel seems to have truly mastered the "manly man rooster stare-down stink eye" ... I rate it a ten.

He has the stink eye cause he got caught. That is NOT my yard he is in.

Thanks for the complements.

That's awesome!! They are sooo tiny and cute. I set one under my broody hen along with a group of Barnyard mixes and got one little roo and love him. He may be a mix but so tiny and cute
