Sexing 3-4 week old Cream Legbar chicks

[Agathe]

At 3-4 weeks, or when they're just about fully feathered, are there any distinct differences between the males and females? I can't seem to find the answer online, it's usually about sexing newly hatched chicks.

Thing is we were sure one was a hen with the striped back, eyeliner and all. No photos, sorry as I don't remember who was who. Now that she's feathered she looks more gray like the roosters while all the other hens are more brown in color. One or two of the hens had the white dot, but as far as I know this is normal and I don't remember if she was one of them. For future reference though, as I know we'll find out sooner or later, at a few weeks, how to best tell them apart?

At hatch, females are dark chipmunk, males are blonde chipmunk.
Yes, they look different at every state, just Google 'cream legbar rooster',, I'm not sure why you can't see a definite answer.

This is my crested cream legbar pullet around 4-5 weeks.

I just haven't found many photos of the difference at that between stage and no one has mentioned difference in color at that age, so that's why I'm unsure whether hens can appear gray or if it means she's really a he!

Thanks! They all look kind of brownish, right? Are your roosters, assuming you have any, more gray in color?

I think my girl was kind of gray. If you look at the top picture you can see a lot of gray coloring! I hope that helps!

Males have much more distinct barring. I believe males have two copies of the barring gene, that's what makes them look lighter. If you can post a current Pic we can probably figure it out.

I don't have a cockerel, but my legbar pullet has always been pretty grey.

this is her at about 10 weeks

And this is around 3 or 4 weeks

Are you able to post pictures of your bird? Males are going to look gray barred.
