Still working on figuring out the Red Sexlinks...

These are all from the sexlink pen...

Just had to take a peak at the new baby pics, and the last pic of your red sexlinks, it looks like you have 2 roosters there.

With red sexlinks, you can tell their gender by the color; white/cream=male, brown/copper colored=female.

Although the ones with the chipmunk stripes don't look like red sexlinks...? I don't believe that they should have chipmunk stripes...

Have fun with your chicks and the pictures are adorable!

Tori,

When you say sex link pen, do you mean they are all sex links in there? Or do you have certain roo and hens put together to create sex links? I was told that sex links don't breed true? I have no idea how that works

Hi Deb ~ I have a RIR rooster in a pen with two Delaware hens and two Barred Rock hens to create sexlinks. These chicks were all from the Delaware hens, therefore should be red sexlinks.
I don't know what's going on with the chipmunk stripes, either 77H.

I was expecting the all white or all red, and these just bamboozled me. I'm keeping some of the pale chipmunks just to verify their sex. I should know in about 2-3 weeks.

I think it might be because my rooster is not 100% RIR. He's got white earlobes, as you can see in some of the earlier posts. I've never had a RIR rooster before, only hens, so I wasn't sure about what he should look like, but Rareroo set me straight.

So that's how you get them. I wondered.

 

[MissDeb]

Oh ok! I was wondering too...I was told last summer to hang on to one of my New Hampshire roos to breed back to my Dellie hens, but it would have been too much
to do with our set up. I also didnt want a third rooster

I am going to break into the regularly scheduled program here, to let all you Alaska people know about something.
www.wolflakewellness.com is an amazing provider of www.azurestandard.com bulk foods, and USDA organics fruits and veges, at fairly low prices.
They also make orders for Frontier and Mountain Rose Herbs.
Located in Palmer, but they are making deliveries to Anchorage and Fairbanks, as well as other places.
I think the Kenia P. was mentioned too, when they were setting up delievery schedules
.
I can also hook you up with cow shares as well. Co-ops are located all over south central, and for those of you on the Kenia, you will be getting a raw dairy later on this year, if all goes well.

We have been very blessed making orders through WLW, as they have saved us lots of money.

Also, look for a write up on WLW in this Sundays edition of the Frontiersman!!

OK, back to hatching out chicks!!!!!

ETA: They do carry animal foods by the pallet as well. You just have to ask about it, as its not fully advertised yet.
