Autosexing question

Post by Nome89 » Sat Apr 07, 2018 7:16 am

Morning!
Just a quick question..
I bred my cream legbar rooster to my ameraucana hens and the offspring that hatched are black. But they have a white dot on their heads. Does this mean they are autosexing like the legbars and they are boys?

Thanks for any help!

Nope, it means they will all have barring.
