Here's my Black sex link!



The chick with the stripe I think is a Brown sex link but not sure....I got them from IDEAL and they are the only ones that have Brown sex links and I can't find any info about them.
This is the hatcheries desription


BROWN SEX LINKS Female - Dark Red with Black
Tails and Wings - Male - White Brown 26-27 5.2 Excellent An outstanding color sexing breed cross of Rhode Island Reds x White Plymouth
Rocks that has been bred for high, efficient egg production and excellent livability.

The pic on the website had a the chicks in the in the pic but the pic was not of real chickens....are the pics usually correct? The only other chick that could be a brown sex link is yellow and that one looks like the extra chicks the hatchery sent us.


The yellow chick are extra males.

What kind of water bottle is that? And what are the things in there? I'm not sure what breed the yellows are but you could make a new thread and Ask, there are tons of "chickintelligent"people out there!

The "things" in the water are marbles to keep the chicks from falling asleep in the water dish and drowning.
I don't really know what kind of water bottle it is......it came with a chick starter kit.
