help with identification... please

1. EE
2. Red Sex Link
3. EE

EE from different hatcheries seem to look slightly different.
You can ask your store who their supplier is.

 

[dgraves]

does this help any with the #2's, since they seem to be the hardest to guess at.
I appreciate everyones input

 

[dgraves]

another question... #3 the EE is very vocal and very loud (compared to the others), could this mean it's a cockerel?

 

[Featherland]

I don't think so. I have had chicks that were very vocal but most quiet down within a few days. I had one that kept it up for weeks. Most of these were pullets.

My guess on the redish one is Gold Sex Link their stripe is usually a little more predominant than a Red Sex Link.

thanks Teri, from everything I've been able to find I have to agree with you.

I just got some and they look exactly the same from Mcmurray. Red sex-link. Mine have the same stripes and are yellow.

 

[dgraves]

I've been looking at both red and golden but most of the pics I find look more like the goldens...I have no idea, but it's been interesting trying to figure it out.

 

[jossanne]

The markings on #3's face look like a wyandotte, either silver-laced or golden-laced. I'm leaning toward silver.

 

[jossanne]

Oh, never mind about the wyandotte. I just looked again, that's an EE comb and muff/beard.
