All my black sex links vary somewhat. Most are black/blue with some red feathering on the neck and breast. One is black with silver/grey laced neck feathers with a small non-existent comb. One hen has a longer floppy comb. I am starting to think I got a bunch of mutts?

We got them at a local feed/seed store, but they were sourced from Ideal Poultry. All the chicks looked alike with the exception of the "barred" sex link that was/is definitely a rooster.

Here's the chicken in question...as you can see his/her sister to the left has a much smaller comb, but being that they're hybrid, who knows?

Thanks for reaffirming what I thought. I will upload a picture tomorrow evening. I have seen her/he be aggressive with the smaller hens, and my wife swears she saw it crowing. The yellow legs were throwing me off. Thanks everyone!

All information on BYC and the internet states that Black Sex Link cockerels are similar to a barred rock pattern. The BSL rooster that I purchased with the hens fit that description. One of the "hens", it now seems is a rooster, but he looks like the hens with the exception of yellowish legs...

I have a 8 month old Speckled Sussex rooster is agressive with me, but all my wife or I have to do is holler at him or give a gentle kick and he turns tail. What's the worst he can do? The only time I get angry with him is when he gets aggressive with the hens or the Black Star rooster. I catch...

How long have you had her? If she isn't coop trained it will be tough to get her down before she wants to come down. All my new birds are confined to separate part of the coop for 4 weeks. I had three game type chickens that I had to manually chase to the coop before sunset or they would find...

She looks like an English game hen I had once. My BSL's red around the head and neck isn't nearly as predominant. She is a beauty.

The dog (now re-homed) that did the first massacre had shared the yard with the chickens for about a year. We turned our backs for 30 minutes and he had killed 14 chickens, left me with nothing but roosters. I went from 4 dogs down to one. We re-homed the other 3. The remaining dog is a part...

Hi all, Just wanted to say hello to everyone here. I started raising chickens when a friend had what turned out to be a game hen and three chicks wander up in her yard after a storm. My wife and I caught them and took them home and eventually built a coop and fenced in a corner of the yard...
