Its definitely not a sex link rooster. Black sex link roosters are barred and red sex link roosters are white with red leakage on the wings. Black sex link pullets are black with gold leakage around the neck. It's unusual for them to have this much gold on them but not impossible. I suspect that you have a mixed breed that's a cross between a buff chicken and a black one. I have had Australorp/ buff Orpington mixes that have looked very similar to this.

I'm also thinking female. It could be something in the black breasted red family, with that pretty salmon breast. The body feathering is a bit dark, but that could just be hatchery variation. Although, those dark legs do rule out most of those breeds.....agree it could be a black sex link pullet.

it would be interesting to see pics in a month or so.

X2 on both of the above posts. It looks like a mixed breed (possibly a Black Sex Link pullet).

It doesn't really have slate legs. You can see the yellow underneath the dark. When you mix breeds, you get weird things. Lots of black sex links have dark legs with yellow skin underneath.

It's going to be interesting to see how it turns out.
