Can Golden Comet (sex link) chicks be striped?

The darker colors are just now coming in. They aren't pure white, but not red either. We were told they were a week old when we got them on march 23.

I can say pretty confidently that those three are definitely roosters. The red feathers on the wings while being all white is the tell tale sign. Here are my golden comets at 4 weeks. The girl on the right is the chick who was nearly white but with the orange stripes and head.

I think your chicks are underage drinking. There is a Pabst can hidden behind the rock.

Yea I noticed that just now. It's empty, they just like to roll it around. Pretty funny to watch.

Any chance they could be a different breed? The store had several breeds all together.

I highly doubt it. Google pictures of golden comet roosters and you will see what I mean. It looks like yours are getting the yellowish hackle feathers in and brick red coloring around wings/shoulders. Maybe an amber link hen? But I doubt at 8 weeks a pullet would have combs and wattles like that?

I think those are roos too. My red sexlink hens are 4wks old and they look just like the ones pictured in post #24.

I'm 95% sure you have roosters. Normally the golden comet chicks at a couple days old are more of a reddish yellow and the roosters are the white with a little yellow. I'll upload better pics when their coop is done.

These are the pullets:

This is the rooster I have ( that I wasn't supposed to have):
