Breed/Age help needed

Sexlink automaticaly means females? Did not know that thank you. Now i need to do some more research!

Yeah, the down color is reddish on females. Some will have more red in the first feathers, others more white. But if they came from TSC, they're sexlinks -- that's the only thing they carry that looks like these.

BTW, male sexlinks have light yellow down and feather in stark white. You would be able to pick out a male easily.

Or, you have one of something else that they sell. Maybe a white plumage hybrid layer. It's extremely rare to get an accidental male mixed into a sexlink order.

Sorry it took a couple of days, very busy around the house. I went out this morning to feed and water my chicks and "cockerel" finally popped out some tail feathers (5-6 days after the others) and i see red hiding in there! Pic to come

The tail feathers "tell" is a myth based on feathering rate sexing.

I know but there wasn't sign of red/brown until the tail feathers popped up. That is why i assumed a potential male, white and yellow no red.
