The Silver Laced chicks should be sexable by color. The Cream Legbar rooster is red/gold base color, and the Silver Laced hen can only pass her silver gene to her male offspring. All the chicks with rose combs are from the Wyandotte. Males will be silver and the females will be golden. All should be barred. For the Barred Rock crosses, all the chicks should be pure for the barring gene. Males will have two copies, females will have only one copy. This will make them sexable once they begin to feather in. Males will have more white and look 'lighter', females will be darker.
All chicks will be barred. If the hen is splash, then all chicks will have a gene for Blue. If the hen is Blue, then only 50% of her chicks will get that gene. The lacing gene is complex, and requires 4 different pattern genes. If a bird is missing even one of those genes, the lacing will be incomplete and have a spangled appearance. This will be the case for all of the chicks. Also, the cream gene is a recessive dilute for gold/red base color. All chicks will get a copy, but not express it.
