Female or male?

This cross isn't feather sexable. You'll need to post pics at 6-8 weeks, showing combs and wattles.

Was the hen the CCLB by chance?

Yes

Yes

I believe they would be sex linked then. Males should be barred (head spots). Please correct me if I'm wrong, @EmmaRainboe.

Nope, you're right. CLB hen x Welsummer cock will produce black sexlinks.

Thought so. Thanks Em!

So, the chicks that are barred (head spots) will be males. Those without will be pullets.

Are you positive those are the parents for all the chicks, mainly the last one? That pairing shouldn't produce a blue chick
