Sexing my 4 day old chicks

[MaranOwner123]

Hi all, I am quite new to the whole world of chicks! and I have just hatched my first two chicks from an incubator. They are two different breeds: a copper maran and a cream legebar.

Any tips on how to sex them - I will attatch some photos of them.

The first three pictures are the cream legebar and the last three are the copper maran…

Many thanks

I believe leg bars are an autosexing breed, but I’m not positive. @nuthatched

Yeah!! Someone said that the cream legebar were an autosexing breed - how does this work and can you tell at this age ?
