Cream legbar hen with crossbreed roo

[Ribatutta]

Please does anyone know if the chicks from my cream legbar hens with a crossbreed rooster (faverolles and Brahma) will be auto sexed?
Many thanks

yes. If the rooster is not barred

If the rooster is not barred, then the Legbar hens will only pass barring to their sons in a cross with him. However, it's quite possible it will be tough to tell barred from non-barred in the resulting offspring due to the chick down coloring they'll have, so they may or may not be sexable at hatch as a result.
