RIR sexing *with pics*

[mermaidgoat]

These were sold to me as RIR and "golden reds" which I think are maybe actually RSLs? I'd love comment on that, but I'd also like to know what you more experienced chicken folks think about the sex of these birds.

They are 6 weeks.

You're right - they are red sexlinks, not RIRs. At least you know they are all pullets.

Boy our feed store sure screwed up!!

they look like golden comets pullets to me, But I don't know much about breeds.

They look like red stars to me...

 

[PotterWatch]

Agreed, all red sex-link pullets.

Just a wild guess... did you get them at TSC? Almost every bit of information I received from them has been sorta right, almost right, or all the way wrong! Here's a pic of my now 9 week old red sex links (with their foster siblings) and they are the sweetest little girls in the whole world. They look just like yours. Love their coloring!

I didn't get them at Tractor Supply. I got the birds in question (and some others that turned out to not be what I bought

) at my local Blue Seal. When I asked what hatchery their birds came from, they told me a hatchery in PA, but weren't more specific than that.
It seems though, that TSC and Blue Seal are birds of a feather when it comes to their birds actually being what they promise.

Definite red sex links...I have 5 of those and that one looks just like it. As for the sex? You will have to have someone experienced tell you. My vote is a pullet.

I'm in for the RSL pullets!
