The man at the feed store said he was pretty sure they were but wasn't sure of the sex...I'm guessing it's too early to tell the sex but I'd at least like to know that they are RIR's for sure.
So I've been scouring the internet trying to identify the 4 mystery bantams that I lucked into receiving (here's the thread https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=358364 )
I can't find any chicks that look like them...anyone have any idea?...they are a bit bigger now and have a...
Okay, so I know this is a chicken newbie question, which I certainly am...but I have 3 sexlinks in my flock and I'd just like to know what to look for to make sure they are female :)Thanks
My EE's, both the hens and the Roo's are very friendly with both me and my children. They come up to us the second we come into the coop and many of them even jump onto your lap for attention if you take too long to notice them We got them from a feed store at just a few days old and my kids...

So many thanks to everyone here so far who has helped me determine the sex of my EE's....these two were questionable last week...are these better shots to tell if they are roo's? Their combs are much darker and larger than any of my other EE's and I'm thinking that could mean roo? Also, do you...

THANKS!!
I tried calling my fiance from the store and he didn't answer...he doesn't know yet that I have them...lol...I hope their cuteness wins him over
So, I was in my local feed store today picking up chick starter and my new best friend the owner asked me how all my chicks were doing...I told him they were great...we still had all 30 we started with, haven't lost any and they are all doing wonderful.
Wellllll, he asked me if I would be...
