how will i tell them apart?

[PunkinPeep]

I have chicks hatching under broodies right now.

And i'm wondering how i'll be able to tell them apart...or if i will.

I have one rooster, a rir, and hens who are rir, bo and br. How much different will the rir chicks look from the rir x bo chicks? Anyone have pictures?

Also, rir x br makes sexlinks, right? So, is there any way to tell a red sexlink from a rir?

My RIR BO have always hatched buff. The RIR BR is a black sex link not a red sex link so you won't have any problems...boys will hatch black with the white smudgy dot and the girls hatch black. But to answer the question can you tell a rsl from a rir yes you can..or I can with my stock..the rir are a deeper red

Oh yay! The black sexlinks (i had completely misunderstood this) are all black. So the boys have a dot, and the girls don't? Awesome! That is so much better for my brain! Thank you!
