these are supposed to be all sexed Amberlink hens. But now I question. Are they hens? Are they even all Amberlinks?? I think I have two cockerels and hen. Feel strongly two are Amberlinks but thinking one is a Leghorn. Posting pics if I can figure out how to. 37E5D44B-31A6-416B-889A-1FC001C063BC.jpeg 4A15CA7D-C2C7-4589-A487-4B9F53643225.jpeg 5025627A-AB0B-4538-9268-0B6CB911322C.jpeg 7E95450B-8697-4E39-8376-FD8566E76B71.jpeg
 
How old are they? You have at least one probable Amberlink (no Leghorns, they all have red earlobes from what I see), but the slate legs of 2(?) of them have me puzzled
 
Oh and roughly 6 weeks they were much bigger chicks when I got them at TSC. I’ve had them 5wks They are completely feathered out
 
I knew it! The two cockerels part anyway. And the one that looks like a white jersey giant is a cockerel
 
Yes, generally 6 hens per rooster is a good rule. However, know that you will probably have to separate, or get rid of one of them. Cockerels kept together usually fight. Keep observing them over the next couple of weeks/months, give them their space, and watch for aggression. There are many threads here that will help you select the right rooster.
