6 chicks, one late on tailfeathers, supposedly Golden Sex Link

[mamawolfen68]

This is "Fluffy Butt" Notice not many feathers on her tail.




This the other chick of the same breed, a couple days ago, more tailfeathers now, ostensibly Golden Sex Link.

All the leghorns have even more feathers.




see all those nice tail feathers except on FB? Help! I wouldn't mind trying a roo out in town, but I was sure these were sexed by color? I am a complete newbie at this.

Well, some chicks are slower to feather than others. If it were a red sex-link male it would be pale yellow, not that reddish color and this one appears to be the darkest sex link that you have. I wouldn't worry about it at this point There is certainly a possibility that someone messed up somewhere and it isn't actually a red sex link, but based on the coloration so far Fluffybutt looks like a red sex link pullet.
