2 at bottom kinda look like roos.. "hence.. Combs..." and also look like some Black sexlinks (i guess thats what they were) i got in a shipment from Ideal when i ordered some birds (they were packed for warmth) when they get older. they will be more of Goldish type color then barring (OR. some will. i had 3., one came barring., one goldish barring. last was really goldish)


(dunno if my info helps anyone, just try to tell it like i know it.. heh....)

Dustin, I do think most of the time, we're talking about hatchery BRs, which is what most people have. I've almost always been able to use that trait in sexing, but there are definite exceptions, my own Lexie being one of them.

What's going to happen to them if they aren't what you are wanting??

nothing bad will happen to them - honest - if they are both roo's I will wait to see which one is better looking as far as breeding goes - and the other roo will be added to my layer flock to give them some "protection" and a since of balance in the flock ( hope that made sense LOL ) -

so nothing bad will happen I was just really hoping I have a pair - but I have 23 brooder babies so I have no idea how many are roo's yet - I cant keep all of the roo's - so I will find them all great homes.

we have a no kill household here - so I will not be processing anything I have raised from a baby and given it a name LOL

This is an interesting thread.

My BR baby, the only one left, has dark on it's legs, white barring on it's wings, and a very well-defined head spot. Which trait on BR's is the more dominant and means more. Since mine seems to have the color traits of both sexes, I'm totally confused, of course I have been since I got into this chicken thing.

Dont feel bad I am totally confused about these two little ones - oh who am I kidding I am totally confused about ALL my chickens LOL
