Supposedly these are four Golden sex-link pullets (2 wks old now). I don't know if you can tell from the photograph but their bodies are all kind of a light caramel color. Feathering is just starting on the wings.

By the way two of them were from an earlier batch which was a few days older than the other two. Just a matter of days. I got them at TSC .

Anyway I've never had golden sex link so guesses anyone? Hopefully they'll be a resounding call of "pullets all".

I went with this hybrid because the sex links seem to be 100% or nearly so; at least in any case much better than vent sexing which I learned from the last batch can be more Miss than hit. If any of you recall I ended up with 2 pullets and 2 cockerels and I had to give away one of the cockerels to re-home to re-home.

I'd like to avoid the latter experience so just looking for a some reassurance. :-)
 
Hi there, I don't think the photo you meant to attach came through. If your chicks are indeed golden sexlinks, the pullets would have been a reddish color and cockerels would have been white as day-old chicks. See photo here: https://www.strombergschickens.com/product/gold-sexlink-chicks
No that's the photo I took I just double-checked it. these are kind of reddish brown around the bodies the wings don't have the feathers in but where the feathers have come in just a little bit, the feathers are looking reddish brown. The area the feathers don't cover appears to be the color of their skin on their wings?

Maybe the issue is on my end, I can't see any photos.
