Chillicat Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Apparently Cream Legbar can be sexed on day one. Girls have a spot on their head and boys have a stripe.....................me thinks......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAJ Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 All the 'bars' legbar, welbar, cobar, barebar - there are more are all autosexing pure breeds - Wernlas do a full range of these and sell hatching eggs and day old chicks. You will still need to get rid of them if that is you intension - why not buy sexed day old chicks? Tracy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moomin Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Very interesting, I was wondering what all the autosexing breeds look like and now I know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad house Posted February 14, 2009 Author Share Posted February 14, 2009 Thanks for that guys. I have thought of buying day old chicks but thought it would be a great experience for the children and me to do as a family, that is to hatch out our own chicks. Will look on the webistes given and read up a bit more before i finaly decide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
