If I take a Crested Cream Legbar roos and mate him with a female Wellbar will the offspring and further offspring still be auto sexed at hatch? I am also curious if it applies to the reverse too. I am certain it should work out that way but I am also ignorant genetics so I figured I should ask.
 
Yes it will work and yes it will work in either direction.
Both breeds as well as most use barring and wildtype plumage to get the auto sexing trait.
Only difference is that Welbars should have mahogany which darkens their gold tones (red).
CCL should have cream that lightens their gold tones.
So if you cross back and forth down the road you'll see a little variation in the chicks since there will be variations in which recieved or didn't or if one or two copies of cream and/or mahogany.
