Welsummer x Cream Legbar chicks auto sexing?

[carrieK6]

They will be sex linked because the hens are barred and the rooster isnt.
Cockerels chicks will be barred and pullets chicks wont be barred.
That kind of cross is a sex link cross not an auto sexing cross.
With the legbars they are autosexing because pullets always get one barring gene and cockerels always get two copies.
Welsummers are sexed by the eye stripes.
Crossing the two breeds will lose both of those things.
The chicks from your cross wont produce sexable chicks.
And if you reverse your cross using a legbar rooster over welsummer hens their chicks would not be sexable at hatch either.

I don’t know if you ever received your answer or not, but my cream Legbar/welaummer I crossed, lay beautiful olive eggs.

No that won't be sex linked.
If your birds are pure they will all lay some shade of green eggs. May be to light of green to call them olive eggers but that will depend on how dark the welsummer and marans lay.

Is there any chance a Welsummer roo's spotted genes could also carry through with any crosses to other Heritage or cross breeds? I'm planning on getting a Welsummer roo for my almost 2-year-old newbie mixed flock of eight different Heritage breeds/crosses.
I have one hen of each:
Welsummer
Light Brahma
Plymouth Barred Rock
Blue Copper Marans
Black sex link
Crested Cream Legbar
Ameraucana
Olive Egger
