Trying to find out breed and gender

[Beanb]

Hi there,
My little one brought home two chicks from daycare. Trying to find breed and gender. We are from Brisbane Australia.

Thanks, Bel

I'm gonna guess Red Sex Link / Red Production for the breed, in which case they should probably be pullets/girls but you'll know for sure in a few months ^^

It’s hard to tell gender at this age... unless their red sex links?

Oh, as @Northwest_Wannabe said, they are probably red sex links. They are very good at laying.

Also, do you have the correct setup for them?

Hello Fellow Aussie!

They do look like they could be RSL’s and if so than they’re autosexable.

Thanks guys, hoping they are pullers so we can keep them as our local council does not allow roosters.

At the moment we have a 1.5m long enclosure setup inside with woodchip on the floor, water and feeder also setup.

Once they are older will put them outside in chicken coop. Think we are on the right track lol.

Yup! Sounds good! (Just double checking, heat source too, right?)

We have had them for two nights so didn't have one prepared and have had our reverse cycle air-con turned up high so they had a nice heated room. I am about to leave in an hour to buy a proper animal heat lamp from the local pet store as it was a public holiday here yesterday (good Friday).

Sounds Good!
