Red sex link chicks

[cabinlife]

Hi, let me get started by saying I just registered today. I have looked at the site for the past few years to find what I needed to know. But this year we bought red sex link chicks. However, all the birds look the same. They are mostly all yellow and white with redish heads and red dotted lines. There is only 1 that is pure yellow-ish/white-ish. I think there all roos, but my wife thinks they're mostly hens. Any input would be appreciated on someone that has RSL (are these all roos?) I know that RSL hens are for the most part all redish in color. Sorry camera is broke no photos. They are around 5 or 6 weeks old, just starting to feather, they are very active trying to fly around the pen.

i have 11 RSL's that will be 2 years old next month. Mine were all supposed to be girls, but somehow I ended up with 1 roo.



They were all RSL except the black and white ones. I had three of them that were white as you can see here in the pict.but they were still RSL's.one was almost a solid tan as well. One of the white ones ended up being my roo 'Bird They are a great breed to have.

On RSL, supposidly the males will be all white (or yellow) and the females will be the others (tan, stripped, etc.) BUT i ended up with 3 white ones and only one of them was a roo. Ignore the black chicks here and the rest are RSL. Only th one next to the black one in the bottom right corner was a roo.
