I had some chicks hatch out today from a Lavender Ameraucana rooster and some Golden Comet hens and have been rather surprised by what hatched out! All of the chicks are either very light yellow (possibly with a few small black splotches, but its hard to tell because they are still in the incubator and not dried out), or solid black. The black ones have fully black feet and beaks, and the light ones have fully pinkish white feet and beaks. They are roughly half light and half dark so I'm assuming that they are probably sexlink chicks. There is no real variation in the chicks (meaning nothing that hatched out in between these two light and dark extremes). Any ideas as to which are the roosters and which are the hens if they are sexlink?
