Buff Orpington Rooster and Dominique Hen Chicks - Can They Be Sexed By Color?

[MKK]

I incubated and hatched 4 eggs (BO x Dominique) and 3 came out almost identical with light yellow faces and light grey bellies, and barring I THINK on the tops of their heads. One came out with a similar body color but a brown face and no barring at all on the head- wings seem to be longer too.

I’m wondering if the identical 3 are possibly roosters? I’ve attached pics. They’re super cute.

Yes three boys and a girl. With mom barred, it is the sons that will be barred.

Thank you so much! I was told that I can’t rely on markings because they’re a mixed breed, but I felt like that might be wrong.

In order create sex links you need two breeds or at least two specific color varieties.
