What sex are my Cream Legbar chicks? 🤷🏼‍♀️

[EmJayne7]

Frost white legbar is a hatchery re-branding. The proper name for a white colored legbar is 'white legbar'. The white legbar also can be autosexed, it is just harder, and most breeders don't breed their white legbar stock for autosexing

See my post further up and see if these photos could help YOU help ME sex them

Sorry, not sure what you mean by carrying? Do you mean the gene? I don’t know too much about them other than the mothers are pure cream Legbars wish I could be more help! I’ve got 1 pale one that doesnt really have a stripe, 3 that seem to have faint chipmunk stripes, and one that has the most prominent stripes….. I’ve popped some photos on, 2 group photos, and one of the one without stripes and the one with the most prominent stripes.

I did not take it that way at all. The OP said this which implies that they're not her own but I could be misunderstanding

I'm sorry, I think im the one who misunderstood.

I have no clue on the gender of them, none really have any clear headspots or chipmunk stripes. The one with the super defined stripe is most likely a girl though. Out of curiosity, can I see a picture of the parents?

That's fair, I just used the common terminology for clarity The breeders that I could find did not sell chicks as autosexing and claimed they could not be so even if they technically can be, it seems like a daunting task and at the very least difficult enough where people with experience aren't confident with it

I don’t have a photo of the parents unfortunately as they are my friends birds! I’m just hatching the eggs for her as she didn’t have time/patience at the moment haha! Loving being a chick mum so far though

One thing I didn't see addressed is that OP only had the male in for a few days alone with the hens. Hens can retain genetic information from other male for 3 or 4 weeks, even after they're removed

I agree with Frazz ( do you mind if I call you that?)! They don't look anything like cream leg bars, but then again, I can't tell one chicken from another. So, I'd say their totally mutts!

No, Frazz is fine. LOL Frazzem was my dog's name... She was a Rat Terrier.
