Is this a Red Sexlink?

[melindax4]

I have two chickens that both of the previous owners say are red sexlinks but they look very different. Which one is which and what is the other one? I was told they are both girls and the lighter one was supposed to be laying but hasn't. In the past couple days her legs and feet have turned a reddish color.

2 pics of my sexlink. Its hard to tell for sure by your pics but the 2nd pic looks a lot like my hen. The 1st pic might be a RIR ( rhode island red ) or poss a young Roo. Good luck

Hi welcome to BYC.
Did the seller say they were first generation crosses?

The seller just told me they were red sexlinks. However the person who sold me the lighter one also sold me a sumatra/ameracauna mix that was supposed to be a girl and he started crowing a few weeks ago.

I would expect that a red sex link pullet would be red. A sex link is a cross that produces chicks that can be identified by color at hatching, When they are bred they can, being mutts themselves produce anything. She still will probably be a good layer. The parent breeds used are usually good layers.
