My cream legbar girls had well defined markings, the feathers around their eyes were particularly striking- like overdone eyeliner top and bottom, whereas the males by comparison, were pale.

With cream legbars at day old the male should be paler and have a cream dot on the top of his head,  :)
Staffies are softer than you think.

I have 3 cream legbar chicks. The girl is very chipmonk? brown in colour, like a welsummer chick. The 2 boys are  more grey and their stipes don't stand out so well and as Joyfull said they both have a big cream spot on their heads.
