Hello!
I have had some babies hatch over the last 36 hours and don't know the color difference between Buff Orpington and Gold Sex-link chickies. Supposedly I had both types in my batch of eggs. I know what the BO's look like but I'm not sure if the three yellow chicks I have are all the same breed or different. Anyone have pics of Gold Sexlinks for me to compare to mine, and how do I know if it's M or F? I'd post a pic of mine but hubby took the camera to the slope with him

Thanks for you help!
 
The yellow chick is our Golden sex link at around 1 week old. Omelet is 9 weeks old now and a sweetie! Oh, and she is definitely a she!

Thank you for everyones replies! I have four yellows so far but one has a deeper gold color while the others are a soft yellow, like a BO, so I was guessing it might be a gold sexlink, but wanted to be compare it with others. Now my question is, seeing its a sexlink, what trait shows that it's male or female? It doesn't have any noticable marks or anything so how do I tell?

You Buff Orpington should have White legs and your Sex-linked "should" have yellow...
