What gender are these ?

The mom is red sex link the dad is a mix of black, red, grey.

This is dad he has never hurt even a fly. He let's me hold him so can't keep any boys. So will just have to gift them. Dang all that hard work of carrying for them for nothing . But it was fun and I learned a lot.

 

[Painted Calls]

Definitely will. I also will be vent checking when my husband comes home.

Do not vent check. It is only successful when they are a day old. Even then it should only be attempted by trained professionals.

You have all cockerels. I'm sorry.

 

[HappyClucker7]

They are all boys.
Don't vent check. It only works when they are newly hatched, and it can be very dangerous if you don't know what you're doing.

I'm going to go against the crowd and say the one with the yellow shanks is a pullet. This is assuming that one of the parents had yellow shanks and the other had slate or light shanks. It's possible for a pullet to also have light colored shanks from that pairing, but no boys should have yellow. Because of that, I'm also going to guess that the one that is the same color and pattern as the one with yellow shanks is also a pullet. Take that with a grain of salt though, as I'm no expert on the subject.

Close, but sexlinkage doesn't work like that.
Yellow is a recessive gene.
There are two mutations that effect shank color.
ww yellow skin
Id dermal inhibitor. Dermal inhibitor is sex linked.
If you cross a slate legged male W+W+id+id+ with a yellow legged female wwId- you will get white legged cockerels W+wIdid+ and slate legged pullets Wwid+-
If you cross a yellow legged male wwIdId with a slate legged female W+W+id+- you will get white legged cockerels W+wIdid+ and white legged pullets W+wId-.
As you can see, in no cross does yellow legs determine the sex.

Ah. So I was wrong about one parent having to be fibromelanistic.

Nope. Sometimes fibromelanism is poorly understood. It is a dominant gene but it needs the dermal melanin gene to be expressed, which is why it is popular for sex links.

Sorry

It’s ok. ^ I know that your point was a good one...it had just already been voiced. I was having a bad day, and shouldn’t have been so rude.

 

[Cdanley03]

I will keep them until they either lay or crow lol. I can't imagine 9 crowing lol

 

[Cdanley03]

Some pictures when they hatched . The black with white is Albert Einstein

You have no idea of the parentage or that rooster....maybe don’t act like you do?

What in the WORLD... she clearly said "IF", and not that she definitely knew. Take a chill pill, dude.
