Ok, I finally know WHAT they are. I was pretty sure I had 6 roosters, but now I'm not so sure. Not all of the chicks are getting the golden feathers on the neck, or speckles on their wings. 2 of them to be exact. There is one that has some speckles on its wings, but nothing like the other ones that I know are boys.
Also I swear the comb looks a little smaller an the 2 without the other markings. They are 7 weeks old now.
I took some head shots for comparison, I would really like your opinions. I need to know if it's just wishful thinking.

This is Clovis. He's all boy, and no matter what I'm keeping him. He's my lap chicken. See?

Here is one that I think might be a pullet.

Thanks in advance.
 
I was only wondering because some of them seemed to have shorter combs.

Oh well...

Need a roo?
lol
 
Looks like my isa brown... but then again all red sex links kinda look the same. But yeah they are roos.
 
I have some random chicks about 5 weeks old and am wondering what sex they are...do all roos grow their combs first? Such an amateur chicken sexer I am..haha
 
Just saw this post and was curious why you said all the chickens were roos. I, too, have amber links (3). I think one is a rooster and the others hens, but after your comment, I was wondering is there is a tried and true way to know whether or not an amber link was a roo or pullet. Thanks!!!
 
I am curious about this too. I bought six from TSC. I've rooster and five hens supposedly. The hens were yellow and are now turning white and the roo was golden tan. They are still little yet.
 



Here is my little man that I got from the pullet bin at TSC mine does look alot like yours so I now know what he is thank you for sharing your pics He is almost a month old
