Sexing cream legbar crosses

[Lili Smith]

hi everyone,
I only had one of my eggs that I incubated hatch so I am going to buy a couple more chicks to keep him company, but I want to make sure that I don’t end up with any more boys. I know that cream leg bars are easy to sex but I’m not sure if they will be easy because the ones that I am buying are crossed with something else. I do not know what they are crossed with but I would like advice on sexing them so that I can pick the correct ones. Thanks x

Depends. If the mother is the Legbar, any chicks with a white spot on the back of the head will be male. If the father is the Legbar, there is no way to accurately sex the chicks till they are older.

You may want to check out the Cream Legbar Hybrid thread. It depends on what the cross is as to whether or not they can be sexed at an early age.
