Is a female chicks yellow?

No. all chicks do not start out yellow. The chicks you see in advertising pictures and in magazines are photographed more often for a number of reasons. The yellow balls of fluff are cuter than a mottled brown/ white or all black chick. More distinguishable as the "chick" the general public expects to see. The majority of chicks hatched in spring (Easter) by hatcheries are of a certain breed (a cross between a Plymouth rock and a leghorn) and usually used for meat production. A bit ironic that the advertising media has chosen the cute photogenic chick with the shortest lifespan for an icon.

What are sexlink chickens?

in sex-linked chickens the males coloring and markings will be different looking in newly hatched chicks. For example: Golden Sex Link Chickens (also known as Golden Comets), will have reddish yellow chicks and lighter yellow chicks. The feathers are different for the different sexes. It is easy to determine if the chick is a female (pullet) or male (roo). Sex-linked chickens are not a standard chicken breed, rather a hybrid cross of two different breeds, usually combined to create highly productive hens. There are several different sex-link hybrids on the market. The benefit to buying sex-linked chicks is knowing that you have all pullets and no roosters in the bunch!

How do you tell chickens apart?

Each chicken breed will have different characteristics for their chicks.For example: White Leghorn chicks are a cute lemon yellow color, that will change as they grow and get their adult feathers in, which are white. Golden Sex Link chicks are a soft, reddish yellow, with darker stripes on their back for the females, and a creamy white for the males. Black Australorp chicks are black with a little bit of yellow in their fluff, but grow into black chickens as they get their adult feathers in.If you mix up your chicks, the only way to tell them apart would be to wait until they get older and can determine what breed they are. Or you can put a spiral leg band on them (anklets!) and as they grow older, change the bands out for larger bands to accomodate thicker legs.
