Buff Orpington x Red Sexlink = What color?

[Chickens R Us]

I got three of these crosses from my incubation but one died after only a few hours.

Here is a picture of the two surviving chicks.

I have three set to hatch on Tuesday. Dad is a BO and mom is a RSL. Looking forward to seeing what these little fluffy butts end up looking like.

they're so pretty mine turned out to be girls

Lucky! I was hoping to get girls. I was in denial about them being roo's even after I heard both boys crowing. I just couldn't accept it!

The little roo's tail feathers are turning out to be quite pretty. It's almost like they're laced. The outside of the feather is laced in white and the remainder of the feather is the orange/red color. I'm impressed.

We just hatched out black and red sexlink's crossed with a BO roo. How can you tell which are the hens and which are roo's? Or do I have to wait til they get older? We so far have 3 black and 3 buff colored.
