So Two months ago I had bought my three Speckled Sussex from Tractor supply.. This forums helped me with my questions
I had two roosters and one hen. So our goal was to have 3 hens
So we bought 4 “pulleys” two weeks ago... And after seeing the first two roosters I think I can tell now two of these are roosters.. Bigger legs/ feet’s, comb, chest to chest, bigger in size also Bright comb already on the Wyandotte
I have one ISA( which I thought they sex them easy at birth.. 2 Wyandotte and a Jersey Giant
I believe the ISA and one Wyandotte are roosters what do you think?I knew I was in trouble when the two Wyandotte looked and grew very different
I know it’s still very early they are 3 weeks

The ISA Brown has to be a pullet. They are bred so that males and females hatch with different down colors. A male chick would have been entirely yellow at hatch, so luckily hatcheries can't really mess that one up, haha.

The others are still a bit too young to tell definitively either way. Though I am a little suspicious of the SLW in the third picture with the wide comb that looks to be getting a little pink.
 
In person the difference is way easier to see in photos I think should I take a picture of just the two Wyandotte together?thanks in advance
 
Oh good I am gonna retake the photos of the two Wyandotte yes!! It is a dark pink already, longer body, different tail
 
Big thick legs on the ISA already got me nervous

Luckily the coloring says female, for sure :) That's the nice thing about the sex links, you know by color what gender they are, 100%. No way to mess it up like can happen with vent sexing, which is only 90% accurate.
 
Here is the ISA the first few days

I know this might sound silly, I will post the pic of the red/ pinkish comb one when I have a bit to take him out... But I was thinking if I could maybe call tractor supply since he is only few weeks old and see if they could put him in their indexed one, I can’t have another rooster in town..Just to give him another chance for someone who maybe wants a rooster, or craigslist?
