breed id help?

[SpunkyTheMonkey]

we don't know much about them...we think they are 6-7 weeks old and have no idea what breed they are.

any ideas?

They are cute that's for sure, but I'm not sure what breed they are... Sorry

Can you get close-up pics of them. Their patterns look almost millie-fluer (the redder ones).

They are most likely Red Sex-links or Rhode Island Reds. As chicks these birds tend to have some white-ish/light brown specks on their feathers.

Thats what I was thinking, but wanted to be sure before I said that..

two red sex links and a deleware I'd say

some close-ups...clicky thumbs.



probably a dumb newbie question but am i right in thinking that i can't tell the sex of a sex-link at this age without knowing what the parents were?

do i just have to wait and see now if i have any roos?

If you feel reassured/safer doing that then by all means do.

no, i mean i thought that it was just the color of the peeps which helped you sex them. since i got them at about 5-6 weeks old and don't know what color they were that doesn't help me does it? or does it?

is it not possible to get red sex-link males? i'm happy to accept that they're all girls or probably girls if that's what their color means, i just didn't think it meant anything at this stage. am i wrong?

Im pretty sure "if" those are sex links.. they are pullets however.. after looking at the pictures up close.. they almost have a Mille Fluer D'Uccle pattern..
