Crossing a cream legbar rooster w/brown leghorns gives you easy to sex chicks that lay pale blue eggs. Easy to distinguish and hatch separately
That crossing does not give chicks that can be sexed by their color, any more than purebred Brown Leghorns can be sexed by color.*
Purebred Cream Legbars are color-sexable because males have two barring genes and females have one barring gene. This is because the barring gene is on the Z sex chromosome. Males have sex chromosomes ZZ, so they can have two barring genes. Females have sex chromosomes ZW, so they can only have one barring gene, along with the W chromosome that makes them female.
If you cross a Cream Legbar rooster with a Brown Leghorn hen, every chick inherits one barring gene from the Cream Legbar father. The sons inherit one not-barring gene from the Brown Leghorn mother, so they end up with just one barring gene total. The daughters inherit a W chromosome from the Brown Leghorn mother, and that cannot have a barring gene, so they also have one barring gene.
If you make the cross the other way, with a Cream Legbar hen and a Brown Leghorn rooster, you will get sons with one barring gene (inherited from the Cream Legbar mother) and daughters with no barring gene (because they inherit the W chromosome from the Cream Legbar mother, and that has no barring on it.) The Brown Leghorn rooster does not have any barring genes, so he does not give any to his chicks. The only problem is actually sexing the chicks: they look pretty much alike at hatch anyway (just like how pure Cream Legbar pullets have one barring gene and look very much like pure Brown Leghorn chicks that have no barring gene.)
*Regarding Brown Leghorns, yes the adults can be sexed by color, but by then they have other obvious sex-specific traits too. The young chicks look pretty much alike when they are young. Some people say they can distinguish males vs. females by specific details of the striping pattern, but it is nowhere near as easy as sexing purebred Cream Legbar chicks, which would be why Cream Legbars are considered autosexing and Brown Leghorns are not.
