Is there such thing as a white sex links chicken?

[wullus]

I went to order some day old chicks from our local farmer supply store, and ordered 6 girls, 2 of each red, white and black,

I forgot to ask the bloke what breed they were, but until I am called to go and collect them, do you know what breed they could possibly be? All I was told was the colors, but is a white sex links chicken possible? Or a black one? I'll report back when I find out what they are

Thanks!

Interesting plight Wullus,

Definitely there is a black sexlink here in the 'states. It is sometimes called a black star.

It would be interesting if this were the white one that you will be getting:

I have heard of people in UK getting these...but not USA. If it turns out to be an Amber star-- and you can find out the other parent besides Rhode Island Red...I would be interested in knowing. Also---chicks? You MUST post pictures so we can ooooh and awww over them! :O)

ETA:
HEY!! I just looked at your u tube video. Good luck with the hatch. That hatching calendar is way-cool. Just about a week ago, my first ever chicks hatched. OMG---they will grow so fast...Today I'm thinking i need to move them to the their 3rd-larger box.

Yes. The red sexlink males are mostly white with red in the wing areas when they're older.

It is also quite possible that the chicks are being vent sexed rather than being a sex-link. Probably the most common whites would be leghorn or plymouth rock.
