What color chicks- Frost White Legbar × Lavender Wyandotte?

I know with barred rock, the size of the dot on the head can be indicative of the sex. But I don’t know if it would work in these guys or not! They sure are cute!!
It wouldn't because they only have one copy of barring so they all have the same size of head spot.

Thanks, that makes sense! Sorry, I really don’t know barring too well. Every time I try to get cuckoo birds I end up with solids 🥹

The size of the head dot have no relationship to gender in this case. In barred rocks the males are purebred for barring and carry two copies of the barring gene creating a larger head spot while the females only carry one copy of the barring gene resulting in a smaller head spot. All of these chicks only have one barring gene because they are hybirds so the head dots will not be any different between geneders.
