2 months old- gender and breed????

[Ol Grey Mare]

The Black ones are Black Sex Links. The ones with reddish markings are roosters and the white ones may be as well. The last one is a Red Sex Link hen. I have both as well as Buffs, EE, Mixes, Welsummers, and Rhode Island Red. No Leghorns sadly.

Without knowing the crosses or not that were used to create these chicks there is no way to assert that the birds shown are BSL. There are many breeds and crosses that can have this same appearance without being sex linked birds. Given the reported age and the significant development it is very unlikely that these are black sex link pullets.

At the current age shape of the feathering is not indicative of gender. Male birds do not develop the male specific feather shaping until around 14 or more weeks of age. And tell that point the shape and structure of saddle and hackle feathering is completely undifferentiated between genders. At this age you must look at comb and wattle development and color relative to age all of which indicate the birds identified as male alredy are in fact male

This is super helpful, thank you!

Hatch date would make them 8 weeks. CC, Sophia, Foggy, Sarge, & Blue are cockerels. Other than the Leghorns they look like mixed breeds.

All the whites are male. The two blacks with the red on their chests are male.
Everyone else is female.

The white birds are White Leghorns, and all cockerels.

Pics 4 and 6 are Asian Blacks (sex link) pullets

Pic 5 is a Black Sex Link Pullet

Pics 7 and 8 are Black Sex Links. BUT, apparently they had a breeding flaw, because even though they have pullet coloring, The comb and wattles clearly point to male. So two cockerels.

Pic 9 is a New Hampshire Red Pullet

These are not black sex links with a "breeding flaw", rather they are simply the product of breeding that has resulted in black birds with red leakage which can occur in many breeds and mixed breeds outside of the black sex link cross.

agree with Ol Grey Mare

They could be, but I don't totally agree with ou.
Lately, I've been seeing more of the sex links that have the wrong coloring, and are males.
I'm not saying its definite, but I do think it's a good possibility.
