Crele legbar cockerel chick??

[Ilovechickens2525]

Hello, I will preface this by saying this chick is not even 24 hours old yet. But I am super invested in it so I need to know! I hatched him myself and had to do some assisting as his egg was saddled. It was quite the emotional roller coaster.

So, long story short. I hatched himself with shipped eggs so I know for sure what egg he came out of. Looks like a crele legbar egg (I’ll attach a pic of the egg). But does he look like a legbar to you??? Anyone experienced with the breed? Is it possible it’s something else with an egg that looks the same?? He just does not look anything like my other crele legbars that have hatched. Guessing if it is one it’s a boy since it’s lighter and no chipmunk stripes on the back but honestly does not look like the boys either. I’ll attach pics of the others in the comments.

And I know for sure it came out of this egg since I’ve spent a huge amount of time obsessing over this chick and it’s egg the last 48 hours lol.

There's no real way to tell for sure if these are pure legbar chicks. But you're right, if the one in question is a pure Legbar then it is a male.

If they were sold as pure Legbars I would assume they are for now. If not, they could easily be mixes.

Ok it’s fluffed out more and I think I know why it looks so different! It’s got to be an opal legbar chick, not crele legbar! The breeder does have some opal legbars as well!

So is this female or male? I know they are autosexing but the differences are slight. I am actually thinking female now? I can distinctly see three stripes and there’s a v shaped darker patch on the head and no white spot.
