TSC mystery chick

[elouxsis]

I was lucky to get two fresh little TSC specials for my broody hen to raise- they really had no information on what breed they were- one guy says “they’re pullets” and I asked what breeds and he said “pullets” so not much help there- the other guy said they’re brown leghorns but they do not look like that either... anyone? I imagine they might be a high volume laying hybrid- but anyone who knows what breeds the hatchery sends to TSC please help?

they look like some production hybrid to me, like sex links.. golden comets.. isa browns and the lot! there are soo many different "breeds" (or names, rather) but they look like red sex links. it depends on what hatchery they came from but i'm suggesting golden comets. honestly there are so many different names for hatchery-developed birds, but most of them look the same!

I looked up red sexlink chicks- do male red sex link chicks have chipmunk markings even though their fluff is light yellow? Cause I’m hoping I didn’t lose the sexlink lottery and get a roo.... are roo sexlink chicks all light yellow with no striping??

Not usually. There are so many sexlinks I can't be positive about ALL of them, but usually it's pretty clear--no red on the down of the male chicks.
