New to raising chickens lots of questions

[NRHobbyFarm]

Hi I’m Nicole and other than raising 6 sexlink hens from tractor supply and giving them away before they started laying I have no experience. Currently I have three laying hens a Plymouth barred Rock, Possibly gray Americauna, possibly Buff Orpington and a beautiful Lavender Orpington roo. I just purchased 4 Lavender Orpington sex link chicks and was wondering how they can be sex link.

No just if they are actually Lavender Orpingtons or a cross which I’m fine but praying they are truly hens and not cockerel
