RE: Back into Lay - Bellecross Belles olive eggers.
Pretty chickies! What do you mean by auto sexing? Are the little cockerels super easy to tell apart from the little ladies or something?

Yes with auto sexing on hatching you can identify the males from the females.Much depends on the strain/line of the breed. As Bellecross Belles are a Welsummer cross identifying the chicks is the same as for Welsummer chicks - the females chicks should have a very noticeable eyeline.
If you look at the photo of the hen with chicks above,withe the group of three chicks at the left back of the photo, the centre chick is male ( lacking in eyeliner) the chick either side of it is female ( dark eyeliner)
I see! How neat! Thanks for the info. :)
