My chickens from TSC.

I think this one is a boy what do you think?



All of the others have a black line on the back of their necks.

It looks like a pullet, but I am not 100% sure. What kind are they?

They said they are a combo of Red Sexlinks and Rhode Island reds.

I think, by the looks of them, that they are all rhode island reds.

Just came home with 6 chicks from tractor supply. We got 3 tetra tints and 3 buff orpingtons. What mix are the tetra tints? The employee told me they're part leghorn and something else.
Oh, and I'll try to get cute pictures!

I could only get a picture of three, they're fast little things. They're all supposed to be pullets, how reliable is Tractor Supply's sexing? Sorry for the questions, but I'd like to know.

So, hoping this can be answered here so I don't have to start a new thread..

Our Tractor supply has a bunch of chicks in right now. A lot of what they had earlier this week was already sold out by this evening, however the "Pullet" bin still was quite full of these little ones in the pic.

What type of chicks are these? From looking around online, appears they are Black Star Sex Links? If so, are they actually pullets?

This is a grainy pic...TSC had a big horse fence corral around the chicks to keep people from getting too close to the chicks when they aren't actively watching them.



Planning to maybe get 6 of them next week with 6 (or 3 and 3 of something else) of what we find at Southern states.

They order them from a hatchery, so it depends on where they came from.

With red sex links females are red and males are yellow. Black sex link pullets have solid black heads and males have a white spot on top of their heads just like barred rocks.

if they are barred rocks, they could be female. But of they are sex links, they would be male (the ones with white on their head, black sex link pullets are all black on their heads.)
