I bought these chicks 3 wks ago and they are supposed to be rir pullets they were bought from tractor supply but I am not sure can anyone tell me

I don't think they are. They look more like a red sex link. The last one might be a boy.

I got 13 because they were all supposed to be pullets so you think they might be sexlink how can I tell the roos from hens if they are

If they're male sexlinks they will end up all white instead of red.

which is why i think the last one is male. He was probably mostly yellow as a chick, now he's feathering out white

Yep, I agree,....

What part of the country are you in? Different TSCs order from different hatcheries. I got birds just like these and were told they were all pullets....but at 5 weeks now, it is obvious they arent.

those are not RIRs. (man, I tell ya, gotta watch TSC on their labeling/mislabeling---- i am now thinking they are notorious for not labeling correctly-- this happened to me two weeks ago-- sold me black sex links for barred rocks...

those are adorable chicks, and I think you got great birds.they will be fine layers for ya...

(if they are all female, naturally) double ck on sexlink..that last one may be male-- they distinquish them by color , i think
