[N1v1d1mka]

i got these babies at Rural king, its my first time owner, im in love and want more. i Have 2 amber links and i htink one might be a roo. because melody is getting more yellow around wings and neck, where her sister pirate is all white, Melody is getting longer waffle and bigger pinker cone. She is more boisterous but i thought it might be establishing dominanace. Im completly not ready for a roo and freaking out, because i want to be prepared and make sure i get girls to go broody if they are. so here are the pics of them few weeks ago and this morning. Thank you. btw rest of the breeds you see are black sex links, golden wyandottes and bramahs Melody or a roo few weeks go

Melody or roo today
Her Sister Pirate today
Pirate today
Both few weeks ago

What color was each of them when you got them? As sex linked birds, there would be distinct differences in their coloration/patterning at hatch, so as to make them easily sexed by visual glance.

I think you better rename 'Melody' ... you have a ROO!!

I believe I misspoke - Amber Links are not color sexed, but feather sexed...........oops. https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/466958/anyone-know-anything-about-amberlinks-amber-stars
