RIR VS sex link eggs.chick colors.Please read,I can explain in post

[Country Living Farm]

OK

I have a RIR rooster with three RIW hens. I know the chicks hatch out white for boys and buff for girls. Well, I would like to put in some RIR hens inthe coop with them. I am wonding if I will be able to tell the difference in the chicks when hatched. I know I will be able to tell the white boys, for for the girls, is their a color difference between the buff of a red sex link and a pure RIR chick.

I hope this makes sense to what I am asking.

Yes you should be able to notice a difference between you sexlink pullets and str RIRs. Your sexlink pullets will be kinda red and white striped as chicks.
Look here at mine in post #12. these are from crossing a Speckled Sussex rooster on RIW hens, you would get the same thing using a RIR rooster since both RIRs and SS are Red Columbian based.
