2 chicks on the picture is not of their offsprings all others are and it seems to be like auto sexable or sexlinked to all the ones that are more yellow of color are turning to be females and all the ones that are white in color are malesPictures?
Thank you i will keep a record of themPossibly Delaware’s.

Sexlinks are a one-time hybrid. You are right that breeding sexlinks together does not give sexlinks in the next generation.Even if they were sexlinks, breeding them together would remove the sex linkage.
Thanks, I knew that about Autosex breeds. Did not think Delaware were Autosex, but maybe it’s just because most are hatchery stock?But the autosexing breeds all use the barring gene, and can breed true for generation after generation while still being sexable.
I never would have thought to try sexing them by color, given how much white is in the pattern. But they do have barring, and the original poster is noticing a consistent pattern of color & gender-- so maybe?Thanks, I knew that about Autosex breeds.

I don't know what they are, but if I had a chance, I'd add one or two to my flock. These are beautiful!!And all the more white ones are males and the more yellow one are females
