RED SEXLINK

[mrspayne07]

Can anyone tell me if this is a male or female SEXLINK? The red bird in the middle they are 18 weeks old

Yes,you have a beautiful rsl hen,and she will lay lots of eggs!

 

[PoultryQueen101]

Well.. it's a red sexlink. Males are white females are red.

Can you get a side profile of the bird? I'm not seeing the white tail feathers nor any sign of the white underfluff that is typical of Red Sex Links (although the angle is not a good one). From what I can see the tail feathers look black, so I'm thinking you have a Production Red rather than a Red Sex Link. Unlike Red Sex Links, Production Reds cannot be sexed by color.

All your birds are hens

But, the bird in question is not your sex link. From left to right you have a barred Rock, a production Red (may have been sold as a Rhode Island Red), a black sex link, and a red sex link. They make for a pretty flock!

agreed

I will try to get a side profile picture today. They are 18 weeks old today....:.... If it was male would he be crowing already ?

Not necessarily, but it's not male so you can rest easy.

Looks like a pullet to me, though it is likely a Production Red, not a Red Sex-link.

X2 on the above.
