Awesome I´ll need that info thanks

sorry... its the other way around, Rhodebars seem to be ahead of the autosexing game compared to cream legbars, at least birds from GFF

My Cream Legbar male chicks look like the one on the left (top photo), usually with larger diffused area of white on the head.

then you are lucky, there are lots of folks getting dark males, making autosexing not as easy as the Rhodebars.. even if both birds come from GFF..

this is the state of the Rhodebar chicks at this stage

My first rhodebar eggs hatched today and got a pair. pretty cool!

now the Dark male with headspot and dark hens with a headspots..

She is the one at the bottom right, can't see her head well in this picture but the spot was about like the male top center.

now take a good look at both breeds and honestly tell me which one is the better autosexing? some American Creasted Cream Legbar owners are dealing with this issue, I´m trying to help but some refuse to hear me out
