Black sex link pullet or roo?

[Madame Cluck]

I bought black sex link chicks, but Suzy is looking like a rooster to me. She/he has more red feathers and a brighter comb. She was solid black as a baby.

Male BSLs are black and white barred. Do you have a picture? What you described with red feathers would be a pullet

I thought I had a picture attached. Having troubles getting the picture to upload. Will try again.

A solid black chick would indicate pullet. They mature Blake with red in the hackles. Cockerel chicks have a white dot on the head, and are barred when mature. It sounds like you have a pullet.

If she's indeed a black sex link, she's a pullet. Male black sex links are colored like this....

Maybe I didn't get black sex links after all. None of them are barred or have white on them. This is the chick in question.

I think you have a pullet with funky tail feathers.

Pullet,

here are my BSL, approx. same age

It might be a cockerel. It's legs are pretty large, which is an indication of a cockerel, and the feathers coming in almost make me say it's a boy, but I'm not really sure.
