Another ISA Brown rooster or hen question

I think you were lied to about your breed.I think you have red sexlinks and you have all males.
Red secxlinks are a colored sex breed and the males are brown and white.Brown on the wings,yours look very similar.If they were isa brown they would be brown/red/white just like a red sexlink hen,if your hen was a red sexlink she would be white,red,and brown.
ISA Browns are a Red Sex-Link

Yes but they are not colored sex as the males have the same coloring as the hen.
Not true. The males will be white and the females buff brown in all types of Red Sex-Links. These are ISA Browns from a project I did years ago.

Here they are as youngsters. I kept 2 males for my project.

Hi.
I’m really new to chicken keeping. We have four gorgeous chicks who are 4-5 weeks old.
Like so many others, i’m Keen to know if we have all girls or if we have a rooster (or two..).
Any hints or tips will be greatly appreciated.
I’d also like to know if I should be concerned about the ‘bald’ patches on one of our ‘girls’. View attachment 1447355View attachment 1447356View attachment 1447357View attachment 1447358

Welcome to the forum, glad you joined.

Do you mean that the eggs were purchased to hatch ISA browns or that at least one parent was an ISA brown? If a parent was an ISA brown you cannot use then to make sex links. If the mothers were ISA browns, do you know what the father looked like?

If the eggs were purchased to hatch ISA browns, with that color all white or yellow ones are male.

Looking through those photos, most do look male.
 
Hi all. Thanks for your help. I thought I would pop in with some recent photos and see what you think.

There should be decent pics of three of them - the fourth was apparently too hungry to care today!
