What breed and gender are they?

[Michelle_Mel]

I hatched some eggs that were supposed to be Red sex links. I assumed the white one was a male and the dark one was a female as chicks are with sex links but they seem to be the opposite! Are they a different breed? They are 3 months old now. One crowed over a month ago but not since. Unfortunately I didn't see which one at the time. I'm curious what breed they are?

Red cockerel, not sure of breed, and an Easter egger pullet.

Both reds look like male and the white ones look like girls to me.

I'd say your red one is a cockerel. Looks like he's got some male specific feathering.

The white one is definitely not a red sex link. It's an Easter Egger and looks like a female to me.

Red sex links don't breed true after the initial cross at the hatcheries. They are a hybrid, not a pure breed.

Thank you for responding. I have Easter Egger chicks that are a month younger and I was thinking the white one looked more like them than a red sex link! The seller must have mixed up the eggs when I bought them.
