Golden Sexlink Crowing

Dear All,
Just an update as to what has happened. As it turns out the two are roosters and these are apparently not sex-links. It was a straight run of some other kind of bird. They grew quickly so I assume that they were intended to be fryers.
I have come to the 100% conclusion that they are roosters because I have seen them attempt to mate with the older hens I have. They are also starting to get the beautiful green silvery feathers on their tails that droop, not to mention the non-stop crowing.
We will attempt to breed them to get some more pullets for the fall.
I will post updated pictures if anyone thinks they will be able to identify them.
Thanks All.
 
You don't have Gold SLs. Instead your hatchery/breeder gave you Production Reds. The one with the curved tail and developed comb and wattles is absolutely a roo.

Gold SLs look like this as adult hens:

Thanks for posting a pic of your SL - mine look just like that, and when I read the first post I had wondered if I got the wrong thing! :)
