Breed?

[Kweddle]

We got these chicks and was told the yellow might be some red silk? But not sure about the grey/ black one?

The reddish chicks are Red Sex-links. The black chick maybe an Australorp.

The Red-Sexlink are a High Production Hybrid. These can be made in a few different ways, like crossing Rhode Island Red Rooster to White Plymouth Rock, or Leghorn hens for examples.
Females, & males are able to be sexed at hatch by color. Females are Reddish Orange to Reddish Yellow. Males hatch out White, or Whitish Yellow.

Thanks! They are all red yellow so hopefully all hens and then the little black one.
