I know that you can tell Sex-link sex by look at there heads, but I need to now with are Sex-links. Please Help

Thanks my chicks have yellow legs so they might be Barred Rocks

Did you get sex-link girls or boys? Black sex-link girls do not have a spot on their heads (boys do, so that's how they are separated at hatch).

I hatched them, they came in a carton altogether some Sex-link some Barred Rocks. Do you now how to tell them apart.

First:

I think the key is the legs. Rocks have yellow legs, the sex links would be grey/black, I believe.
Can't lose either way! Enjoy your time here at BYC!
Best!

( you could post some pictures, that might help!)

That's not a Barred Rock...it looks like a Dominique cross to me...

Edited to explain: The non sex-linked ones look like Dominiques.

They are not BRs because they have a rose comb. The one with brown in the face could be a sexlink, but the ones with the spots on their heads are cockerels, IMO.
