If you bought them at TSC and they are yellow w/white coming in then you didn't get comets you got Tetra Tints.

I got some comets and a couple tetra tints.

Comets are more orange/buff colored w/rusty feathers coming in and Tetra's are yellow w/white feathers coming in.

Hope it helps

Golden Comets are sex linked chickens. The females have reddish down and the males have yellow down. It does not sound good to me. Sorry.

My TSC had a pullet bin and all the chicks had brown stripes down each side of their backs. They are feathering out the same sorta but one is a little lighter, the brown stripe isnt staying on that one. Here is a picture of mine. It was suppose to be a pullet bin so they better be!

Here they are as babies

Here they are older. As you can see the one towards the bottom right is lighter now but still had the stripes as a baby.

Hope that helps.

Chicks get mis-handled, mis-labeled and misplaced at TSC.

BUT... yes, a yellow/white sex link is a roo. Pullets are reddish and often striped.

I've seen lots of gold sex-link chicks that are yellow with white feathers growing in, they're pullets. Check out some pics, wait a while. I'll bet you have girls. Or, post a pic and let folks see them.

The first pic is the 6 Golden Comets I bought from TSC last year. (Their the darker ones, the others are Amberlinks) They were all pullets.

The Golden Comet is the one on the right. They were about 3 weeks old in this pic!
