HI all,

We have 13 chickens. 7 are two weeks older than 6 of them. I'm going to try to post pictures for rooster identification. Thanks in advance!
We have:
4 Red Sex Links. My guess is three roosters and one hen or all four roosters.
2 Plymouth Rocks
1 Asian Black

The younger ones I think are all hens but if anyone sees an obvious roosters please let me know.

Where did you get these supposed red sex links? They are not first generation. Two look like cockerels, and so do the barred ones. Those have the wrong leg color for Rocks.
 
this woman off Craigslist. I drove an hour and she totally didn’t tell me the truth. Do you think all four of the red sex links are roosters?

And do both barred rocks look like roosters too?

What about the Asian black?
 
Do you think if they aren’t pure red sex links they won’t lay eggs?
Can you say more about why the barred rock look male to you and what you meant about the legs?
They won't lay eggs because they're male. It doesnt matter if a hen is pure or not. The barred rock also looks Male because of the comb size and color. Hens dont usually get that size or color until they are about to lay.
 
The leg color is wrong on the Barred Rocks. They're most likely Cuckoo Marans. Not the French type.

A Barred Rock should have yellow legs.

My Heritage Plymouth Barred Rock pullet for example.
 
Ok so two of the red sex links are male, I’m wondering if the other two will lay eggs if they aren’t true red sex links.

do both cuckoo madams look like roosters to you guys?

what about the Asian black?

thank you again!

It doesnt matter if a hen is true breed or not. If they're hens, they will lay eggs (unless they have reproductive issues). Need a better picture of the asian blacks comb and wattles. Both cuckoo marans look male.
