[CrazyChickieMama]

what kind of chicks did they send me as packing peanuts? the yellows are GSL females, but I don't know what the black ones are!!! HELP!!!!

Possibly GSL males?

 

[DTchickens]

black chicks shipped as males for warmth (aka.. packing peanuts) are usually sexlinks. and black. that would make them Black sexlinks

I feel so stupid....

I should have known....sheesh...I wonder if anyone wants 7 roosters? j/k I'm keeping all my babies!!!

Or barred rocks, thats what they sent me for packing peanuts. They looked exactly like the ones you have there

Could be BRs I suppose but I'm leaning towards GSL. Black sex links maybe, but the whole point of the breed is for the different genders to be dfferent colors so...

It is said that the head spots on males are different but it is very hard to tell.
