Are Both Gold Sex Link Pullets?

[Gray Farms]

They are both definitely Pullets. Vent sexed and all. I did read that second generation sex links are not color sexable so maybe that’s what’s going on. Or TSC had something else mixed in lol

Hard to say for sure what breed you have then. Vent sexing is only 80%-90% accurate so there is still a chance you have cockerels.

My GSLs have brown earlobes, lay brown eggs. Leghorns have white earlobes, lay white eggs.

Red earlobes not brown

That helps, thank you. So if she in fact is a she, then I’ll have more idea when she starts laying.

Depending upon the sexer, vent sexing is generally 90 % accurate.

I'm told the rule of thumb is earlobe color indicates egg color, exceptions are like Easter Eggers and others that lay colored eggs. If someone that knows more about it weighs in we will both learn something new!

No need for sorry, we knew what you meant.

When you say ear lobe do you mean the color below the feathers on the earlobe, or the feather color?
