there are a few combos of sex link chickens . not all the same kind of chicken. There you go, you have 2 different kinds.  Red sex link, black, I dont know them all.

But when I got them these two weren't sex linked colored. They were both black and yellow.

tons of chicks with black and yellow down that will end up being all black. They look like alstrops to me but hard to tell between so many different breeds. I believe the alstrops have black on the underside of their feet. where the black sex links will be light colored.

Fun fact, every chicken we know today came from the wild red jungle fowl. all the silkies to polish were bred from this bird.

Yep all black feet. And the reason I was weirded out is because all of their ears have always been pink/red since their combs and wattles started developing. But recently (within the last few weeks) it's changed to that beige color.

Yes bottom of feet are black. No haven't wormed yet. All feces are normal.

its a debate on here if you should worm or not unless you see them. It is said that some worms cant be seen by the naked eye. I dont know if this is true or not but I do know that pale skin can certainly indicate worms . AKA too low of protein. If they were mine I would worm. There is a member here that knows a million times more then I do and I would take her word for what ever she tells me. @casportpony She also has a lot of info under her posts.
