yep im certain. My breeding stock look standard; no slate legs and such. What's odd is that last year i hatch from the same group and had no pure grey offspring. Can a random gene come out of no where where breeding or is that not possible?

They are definitely from my pure stock as i've had the three hens with the cockerel in the same pen all year, so they haven't been with a different cockerel.

This is my third year breeding Cream Legbars and for the first two years everything was normal, with the males coming out light grey and the females being darker. However, this year i've somehow ended up with three pullets that do not have the correct markings and are completely grey. I'm...
@kerrialexander. Hm, not too sure. I’d say pullet from the lack of comb and wattle development but looking at the tail I’m not 100%. Feel free to send another photo in a few weeks time =)
@Eyehartephotography. Looks like Corey is a cockerel!
@afieldssnowyegger. Currently Fluffy isn’t looking...
@StacOHTX.

@raenapaige.
Looking like a cockerel to me.
@HeavyJ.
1. pullet
2. cockerel =)
@qggradek. Probably a pullet. If it’s a cockerel, it must be a quite slow maturing one.

@TheOddOneOut. His feet and legs are large which is a sign that he’s a boy. Also, the head of a pullet tends to be quite slight and your chick looks to have a more rounded head :)
@chicklove14. much too small for me to tell at the moment! Maybe send photos in a few weeks? =)
@TheOddOneOut. Probably a boy!
@Rachmaginger. Yep those are both cockerels.
@StacOHTX.

@tizabel_. 2 weeks is a bit too young to tell, especially with Orpingtons as they are a slower maturing breed. I’m not sure how to feather sex but will happily look at some photos in a few weeks time :)
