*edited* Sex/breed questions from a newbie - any experts want to help?

[taelir]

We bought these from TSC roughly 5 weeks ago (if my memory is serving me correctly).

I can tell we've got two Barred Rocks pullets, the other four are stumping me just a bit. We have two of each breed - I'm guessing two Red Sex-Links, but the other two I'm not sure of.

I'm also thinking we've got one roo out of the bunch - he appears to be the only one developing wattles, his comb is noticeably larger, and his legs are thicker than the rest. He's also pretty bossy - the others have learned to let him have some of the strawberry first

Thoughts? Thanks in advance!

Red Sex-Link pullet?

Red roo of some sort - thoughts on what kind?

And for comparison, the day we brought them home (two of the lighter ones had reddish chipmunk striping on their backs):

My friend, you'll have better luck if you retitle your post more specifically. For instance, I am no expert on breed or sex of chicks. That's who you want.

So title with that info: An example: "Breed and sex of chicks? any experts?" That oughta draw out the ones who know.

Ya gotta flatter em a bit. They do like being called experts. 'Cause they ARE.

My apologies - you make a good point on having to butter 'em up.

Edited the title. Thanks

Thanks! I'm quickly seeing the fun in this addiction.

I'm grateful my husband is enjoying all the critters, too. That makes this so much easier

**eh ehm**

i totally take credit for her addiction. i made her a video of my hens coming when i called them, and her husband owes me big time b/c he wanted some so badly, and i talked her into it.

hehe.

and i have no idea what those 4 are my dear, but i am willing to bet you've got two roos.

 

[melissastraka]

I agree, two roos!

Guessing only because I am not an expert-a BO roo that is being held
