I bought these at tractor supply and I was told the blonde ones were americaunas ( blue laying eggs) and the red one was a white leghorn ( white eggs)
I think the red one looks more like a Rhode Island Red to me. I’m not sure if the blonde ones are correct or not I can’t seem to find pictures online for reference
I turned the lamp off to get a clear pic of their color
I’ll include pics of when I first got them and of them now

I got Tractor Supply chicks as well. they were all supposed to be hens and we got 2 males out of the 7 chicks. we also ended up getting some different breeds than we expected. they're never exact when it comes to sexing or determining the breed.
 
I’m sorry I am new to chicks
What exactly is a sex link? So they aren’t americaunas
They are a mixed breed hybrid that can be sexed at hatch because males and females are different colors. They come with designer names like comets, and queens to name a few, and lay lots of eggs.

They could possibly be Easter eggers, but those are generally chipmunk striped and have cheek muffs. Americaunas aren't often carried by stores and hatcheries. It not impossible, but generally unlikely unless you paid top price for them to find them in a store.
