Can Red Sex links have huge red combs at 7 weeks??? UPDATED

[jojo54]

I have 29 gold sexlinks and they all have different comb sizes from quite small to big and floppy and all are 11 month old hens.

Exactly what I just found out the hard way! I got 6 at Agway here in CT. Thankfully 3 were sex links, but the other 3 (RIR) are atleast partially roos, if not completely roos.

Yep, that roo is not a sex link as others have said. I once got 10 red broilers from my feed store only to realize a couple weeks later that I really had 8 broilers and two EEs. They looked almost identical as day-olds so I can't blame the feed store too much.

yeah my feed store had nhreds and sex links in the same bin, and i did not get a sex link like i asked.

Well, most of you were correct...the little bugger was caught crowing this morning!

I guess we'll have to be more suspicious of those "Sex-Link" bins!

They look like NH reds to me (boy and girl).
