I just got 5 baby chicks from Tractor Supply. They had them in 2 separate containers labelled as sexlink pullets. The black sexlink container had yellow and black chicks. We got 2 black and one yellow and 2 orange sexlinks from another container. I know that Tractor Supply sometimes have 2 breeds in one container, and maybe I didn't read the labels well enough. All I really cared about was making sure what I was getting was pullets and no straight run. They reassured me they were all girls.
Later on I started to read about sexlinks, and the article said yellow sexlinks are male. Now I am really really worried if they sold us a rooster. This yellow chick is now about 3 weeks old. What I noticed about it from the very beginning was that its legs have feathers on them and compared to the others, it has an extra toe on each foot. Maybe it's a different breed? What breed of chicken has feathers on legs and extra toes?
I am very worried if we got a rooster. Our city does not allow roosters, we live in a regular city neighbourhood and our next door neighbour works for the city. If we got a rooster, we are screwed. I've never killed anything and wouldn't know what the best thing to do would be under the circumstances. Any thoughts? Thanks.
