They’r all about 10 weeks old. I have 2 cream legbars I thought were female but thought I heard crowing the other morning 😭

Pretty sure the red-brown one is female and some sort of Easter egger. Can anyone confirm her breed?

Cream Legbars are an autosexing breed, males and females have significant differences in feather color/patterns from hatch so that it's easy to select for female chicks. Unfortunately at a day old, you probably could have determined that these were males. Not that it helps now, but it's useful information if you get more Cream Legbars in the future. They definitely have the male coloration and there is no doubt at all that those are male birds.

Thanks! Yeah I didn’t know what breed they were when I got them as chicks.
