Golden Comets

[BillT]

I have two week old golden comet pullets. They sent 26. 24 of them have tail feathers about an inch long. The other two have no tail feathers at all.

I'm thinking maybe two little boys?

If they are reddish/golden/brownish they are pullets. The males are almost white. That is the whole point of a sex link. Determining sex at hatch.
Now, it is always theoretically possible other similar looking birds got mixed into the box at the hatchery, but such errors aren't that common.

Aren't they sexed by color?

I didn't know Golden Comets were sex linked. I love golden comets, they are almost as nice and friendly as Isa Browns.
