Hens or roosters?

[SJWit]

We got 12 chicks from TSC on March 1st. I'm new to the whole chicken momma thing and so far I love it. 3 of our chicks are red sex links. All of the others were unsexed. We're pretty sure we have one Amberlink rooster and 2 hens. He's bigger, has a redder comb and darker feathers than the other two.

We have three Rhode Island Reds. My hubby thinks one is a rooster also but they all look the same to me. Would love to hear what other more experienced chicken families think!

Finally we have two Australorps. We lost one in the first few days. Sweet little thing. Not sure about these two either. Opinions would be appreciated!

I see a lot of cockerels. If you really did get red sex-links- then the white birds are all boys. The right ones in all three pics look like roo's to me, but it's early yet.

She/he got 12 chicks these are the other 8(one died) besides the sex-links. Stated in the post.

As PD-Riverman said, I did not take pics of the red sex-links, these are the others we got. Thanks very much!

Amber links are sex links...I'm confused now. We're talking about the white birds, or not?

 

[WyoChickies]

Sorry! I can't read, apparently.

 

[TheKindaFarmGal]

Aren't Amber links feather sexed?

No. They were unsexed when we bought them and we're pretty sure we only have one roo there. The one on the right has a bigger redder comb and different color feathers on his back.

He's definitely a boy. Not color sexed, feather sexed. Everything I read said they are.
