Some times when there this young roosters will do that to hens that's probably what it is you can just order them off line or sometimes they I'll sell them in tsc or petsmart. And the lite buds may not be there yet cause their kind of young but right now they should just like little nubs like a bone that started to grow but didn't it's kinda weird looking. As the get older the nail pokes through.

It's not a black sex link rooster. Black sex link roosters are colored like this... Where did you get the bird from? I'm leaning toward black sex link pullet.

Look for little buds near his or her toes those would be Spurs or u can try vent sexing it's kinda hard to explain over a conversation like this but if you look it up you should find somthin get. Plus place it in a pen with another rooster that you know is a rooster and crows and mates. If it puffs ups it's feathers and kicks it's sorus up pretty much saying he's taking charge over him because he knows it's a rooster if the real rooster does nothing or even try's to mate it's probably a hen. But there is no guarantee that all these will work! Hope it kinda helped tho.

Please NEVER attempt vent sexing. It only works on day old chicks for starters, and secondly, only professioanls are recommended to do it because it is very very very difficult to identify gender this way and you could kill the chick in the process.
