Rudd Rangers

[DAO6603]

Are Rudd Rangers a sex linked breed? My chicks from Tractor Supply were 5 yellow and 1 brown. They are 9 weeks old and the 5 look alike and the 1 is different. I don't know witch is a hen or a roo. The pic with 2 birds are 2 of the 5. The other pic is the brown chick.Whos what?

The two birds with enlarged combs are cockerels.

The single bird, do you think it's a rudd ranger? He is half the size of the other 5. They are from a straight run

I know this is an old post...But I am picking up some Rudd Rangers from Hoover at my local feed store in about a month. They are ordering them straight run. Every picture I can find of the chicks shows a light one and a red one and the adults also vary in shades of light (golden) and dark red. This implies they might be red sex-links? But if that is the case the males should be light and the females red. But the pics in this post imply the red was a cockerel? If the OP see this, or anyone else has experience, please let me know if you have raised Rudd Rangers and if the light colored chicks grew up to be male or female or vice versa. I also watched a youtube video about them that had some light and dark chickens and the light ones appeared female. But this is the opposite of how red sexlinks work???? Red sexlink males should get a Silver gene from their moms and be Golden (hetero Silver, S/s). Help! Anyone? Before I go to pick out my chicks? PS I am ordering them, among other breeds, to add some "meat" genetics to my mixed breed flock, so I would like to pick out a trio.
