Chicken Sexing

[aricbishop]

When will I know when my chicken is either a hen or rooster?

I have Red Sex Links, Rhode Island Reds And Plymouth Barred Rocks.

It gets easier to tell as the chicks get older.

They are getting bigger now! I am hoping they are all hens.

I only see pullets.
And specifically, your red sex links, with that coloring in the feathers... can ONLY be female. It's a genetic impossibility for a male to be colored that way.

Thank you!!! I made them a dust bath tote today and they loved it!
