My wish today is that I can sex maran chicks.

Nope sorry but good luck

Black and white.

OK in that case you can, the males are much lighter than the females who have a denser, darker grey colouring 

mmm Will look again tomorrow.
Thank you.
I have sexed all my other birds (I think)

Foxy is right.  This is the same for silver-grey Dorkings too (however there is always an exception, so don't be too keen to cull on hatch)

I thought below was how you sexed Silver Dorking.  Male on the right. Very similar to Cream legbar.

That is how the dorkings are sexed! the one on the left is exactly how both my girls looked and now they are nearly fully feathered you can see they are definately girls!
