5 weeks old chicks....and some hybrids too!

Looks like you have 5 cockerels and 3 pullets in that picture, and they all look like BSL. Do you have pictures of your adults?

You have three girls (The black ones with red)Dpotted ones area males.

Oh geez....I hope not 7 roosters I think at least one of them is a barred rock rooster, but seven? noooo......

Well, here the picture of our Rooster, along with our Plymouth Rock hens. We're pretty convinced he's a Red Ranger...or maybe he's a Rhode Island Red? We kind of adopted him....he wandered over to our property from next door....he was about 3 weeks old then. We've had him for a year now. We have a total of 10 chicks. The picture of the chicks in the earlier picture are when they were settled in for the night...they were on top of each other, so there's a total of 10.

He’s likely a New Hampshire.I am pretty for sure you definitely made the hybrid.You for sure have three girls all the spotted ones are males.

Looks like a Rhode Island Red to me!

I agree, the black ones are hens and the barred ones are roosters.
Any barred hen x non barred rooster results in sexlinked chicks.

Glad this seems to be resolved. It really wasn’t making sense to me that you had 9 sex links and one that somehow wasn’t (the “barred female”).

Yep, me too. Can't keep all those lil' roosters. We'll definitely keep the hens, keep two cockerels, and re-home the others. Otherwise, we'll have too many school yard fights!
