Sex-links are cross-bred chickens whose color at hatching is differentiated by sex, thus making chick sexing an easier process. Sex-links come in many varieties, few of which are a true breed. Red sex-links are a cross between a Rhode Island Red or New Hampshire rooster and a Delaware hen.

I had so brown eggs they either came from my red sexlinks or my golden comet hen
but I have 2 americauna roosters they run with my hens so I am hatching the eggs and 6 hatched so far. :)
their all marked pretty !
 
I work in Animal Rescue and brought 4 chicks home from the shelter. I believe that they are Red Sex Link chicks. Can someone help me determine if they are pullets or roos?
