Colombian blacktail ? Confusion ?

[samcrook2]

This is my first time with sex links - I bought six Columbian blacktail (white Sussex x Rhode Island Red) eggs from a farm that I have used many times. I ended up having two pulleys out of that that I sexed at hatch. However they are now about 15 weeks old, and one is presenting in my mind how a roo would. They arnt crowing, their tail feathers are similar but larger than their sisters however the younger sibling had problems and has had delayed growth as a result so it’s hard to compare. Am I right in saying that the cockerals are white. She’s been driving me nuts if someone could help that would be great.

I wonder if he is second generation meaning that the sexlinking no longer works or perhaps he is a different cross. He is without a doubt, a cockerel :/

No sorry was saying have had no crowing

Could you get pictures of the females? Do you have baby pictures? Also closer pictures of the bright red patches on back?

I am sorry, I just edited what I wrote. There was another thread about Columbian Blacktails this morning and I thought you were the same person. My bad, I definitely should have checked names, I just don't often see that breed so I assumed

Agree it's a cockerel without doubt.
I really like his feathering.
The other girl? Do you have a photo of her?

You know what assuming does!......

The middle is the pullet from the same stock. However in my opinion she doesn’t look like a columbian blacktail either she looks almost like a pure breed Rhode Island Red. On the left hand side for comparison is my buff Orpington pullet from my own stock. Very confused with what I have been sent.

You are right....

She does! Maybe she is pure RIR?
Both of those are girls, happily.
