Autosexed vs Sex‑Linked Chicks

Autosexed breeds are purebred lines that naturally show male/female differences the moment they hatch. These traits are built into the breed’s genetics and stay consistent generation after generation.

CURRENT BREEDS

 Cream Legbar

 Lay true blue eggs that have sky‑blue shells with color that runs all the way through, making them one of the most consistent and reliable blue‑egg breeds. 

 Welsummer

 Lay medium to dark brown eggs covered in beautiful speckles. Each one looks hand‑painted and completely unique.  

Why people choose autosexed breeds

• Purebred birds that breed true 
• Consistent traits and appearance

Sex‑linked chicks are hybrid crosses, created by pairing specific rooster and hen lines so their chicks hatch with color differences based on sex. Change either parent, and the sex‑link disappears.

CURRENT BREED

Mar Bars

 Marans × Crested Cream Legbars 

  Most pullets will lay olive or green‑toned eggs, but there is always a chance of dark brown eggs if the Marans pigment dominates and the blue gene expresses more lightly. 

Why people choose sex‑linked chicks

• Extremely accurate pullet identification
• Hybrid vigor for hardy, productive birds
• Excellent egg‑laying performance
