TSC said Red Sex Link pullets but...?

[twouglyducks]

They were both from the same bin at TSC on 4/28. They were labeled just hatched red sex link pullets. I trusted the store too much (I know better now lol) but these chicks look so different from each other. I can't tell if it's due to being different genders or if they're different breeds.

Pictures from today and one when they were a few days old. Barbara is the yellow one, Billina is redder.

Both are red sex link pullets.

There can be quite a bit of variation in how red they are depending on the parent birds.

One Production Red and one Red Sexlink. Both pullets!

One Production Red and one Red Sexlink. Both pullets!

Agreed.

As much as my husband wanted a rooster named Barbara, I'm very glad to hear they're most likely both pullets.

Now watch... My two Barred Rocks will be cockerels.

Thank you all!

Looks that way to me.

Yay, one of my chicks from May looked exactly like the second one from the right in the group photo and I had decided she is a Production Red after looking at a zillion photos on the Internet. She is a much darker burgundy red though.

Here they are this week. She is darker now, getting more patterned feathers. So pretty!

She's beautiful. Mine I think is still more of a burgundy but photo colors aren't always perfect. I want to put a photo of Daisy Mae, that's her name, but they move so quickly and are in an awkward area to photograph. Hopefully building their run this weekend. DM is a bit of a scrapper, lol.

Aww my silkies name was Daisy and sometimes we would call her Daisy Mae she unfortunately passed away from wry neck. R.I.P Daisy I love you
