what breed are these chickens?

[bryan8]

I bought ten chickens from TSC. I was told 5 were golden commets. I picked the other ones out beacuse they looked like the 5 goldens.

Heres the pics there about 3 weeks old now.

Heres 3 pics of differnt chickens. Pic 2 and 3 are what they all look like mostly. Pic #1 looks a little differnt than the rest

What are they? can you tell if their hens or cockerells?

thanks

They could be golden commets. Not sure on the sex yet. Need another week or two. If I had to guess, I would say pullet, but I am just guessing.

They are pretty though.

They all look like Red sex-links. The first is just a lighter one. They can range from really red to mostly white.

If they are sexlinks, then all are girls.

I have comets as well. The first one is definitely male. The others are more than likely female. Are they about 3 weeks old? Can be a bit confusing when they first start to feather in as the white feathers seem to want to come in first. Once the brown starts to take over you'll have a better idea.
I have some males that are all white/cream colored 1 that has just a bit of the reddish brown on his shoulders and one that has quite a lot of rddsh brwn on his wings.
The females will feather out mostly the rddsh brwn with some white around the ends of the wings and tail.
They are very cute though!

If they are sex-links, I would guess the first is a male. Looks far too light to be a pullet to me.

I think number 1 is a boy for sure... that's a rooster stance if I ever saw one!! Plus he's too light to be a girl.
