So long story short, back in March we brought home 6 new baby chicks from our local Rural King store. We went in looking for baby chicks (pullets), without much regard for the breed at the time. The 6 we got came from a group that were labeled as "black sex link pullets".
Fast forward several weeks and I noticed that none of them are showing any signs of getting the typical red/gold neck feathering. So that got me wondering...what breed of chicks did I get?
They are now just over 10 weeks old and I have no idea what I have here lol. I'm thinking they are either Black Giants or Black Australorp based on the coloring and photos I've seen online.
Finally, out of the 6, 4-5 of them sure the heck look like they are cockerels...
Thoughts?
