I was thinking girl. No problem with it being a sex link, didn't realize that's what the Golden Buff was. I have 5 hens already and they are great layers.

Looks like a red sex-link to me too, leaning towards pullet but unsure.

I have a couple of these that look the same. What color do the roos turn out to be? We have 5 pure white chicks with red combs.

pullet. Not sure about the breed though. She's pretty. :)

My sweet puppy, Maggie (1yo), 3 adorable baby pet rats, Darby, Lilah, and Faye, 3 cats, 2 bunnies, a goldfish named Ghoti (pronounced "Fish"), 1 Khaki Campbell duckling, 1 Magpie duckling, and lots and lots of chickens!
