Am I a Red Star?

[Nestew]

Hi there - really excited to have joined the community. Just got my first chickens late April and have been scratching my head on little “Nugget” ever since she (I hope) showed up.
This one came thru an assorted order and have not been able to place it. Breed or gender.
Including early pics as well as recent. She is 6 weeks old today. Nugget is the reddish brown one in the recent pics but was very light brown as a chick.
Any chance this one will lay some nice eggs? I already have 5 cockerels in the 2 separate batches I got and hoping Nugget doesn’t make 6!

Looking like a pullet! Still a bit young though. I'd say a red - sex link. Welcome to BYC!

Super happy to be here. So much information on what feels a little daunting at first. Run here first every time I think of something I don’t know the answer to!
I have been watching this one close. My 2 welsummers I was sure were pullets ( were ordered that way but only 2 of 4 made it) sprouted black chest feathers last week and are now both sporting pretty decent early combs.

A bit young but not screaming cockerel yet. It's a Production Red

Young, production red. Not a red sex link since there's no white in there.

Also, I think one of your dominiques and the speckled sussex are cockerels.

The Dominique you are referring to I hope is the barred rock male I ordered - thought they seemed like good Roos from what I read. Now with plenty of extra Roos out of what should have been pullets - idk which I will eventually keep.
The speckled Sussex? Which do you think those are? I got 6 labeled sapphire gem pullets from Atwood’s. Know the labeling is not always accurate now. Do you think those are speckled Sussex? I’ll have to look them up. One was almost white - thought it was a cool off colored one. Turned out roo. Still kinda one of the more interesting ones personality wise too.

Here are a few more pics showing the 6 so called “Sapphire Gems”. I believe 4 are pullets and the 1 white one and the 1 obvious grey one are the only 2 Roos out of that bunch.

Nope, you're right, that is a barred rock. I had to check out other angles to see the comb.

The brownish one with the white stripe down the throat to the belly in pics 3-5 at first looked like a speckled sussex, but the legs are the wrong color (now that I look again.) It looks like a cockerel.

Wow... you have a bunch of cockerels there.

Ah yes. I have two supposed to be pullets welsummers that sprouted super black chest feathers the last couple weeks. They will be beautiful I’m sure but not trying to keep so many Roos. Out of 14 - at least 5 are Roos now.
