Sexing cream legbar and welsummer chicks

[HollyandIvy]

I'm fairly sure the Welsummer is a male, I've labelled the three cream legbar pics with my guesses, all help gratefully received as I live in a town and can't keep roosters! Many thanks.

Did you get them from a breeder or from a hatchery? I ask since Sometimes the genes for pattern sexing gets washed out if it's not breed for. I can't think.of anyone off the top of my head who had them or I'd ping them.

I would not count on the markings telling you much of anything if these chicks are from a hatchery. The Welsummer have completely lost their autosexing traits and many lines of CCL have as well.

You should know genders by about 6 weeks with both breeds. Have a plan lined up for any that end up being male.
