Yes, I was very suspicious. This is my first experience with chickens of any kind. Unfortunately the people I went to for advice obviously didnt know any more than I did. That's when I started researching deeper, found this page and knew I would get the confirmation I needed.
I was afraid of that. I am surprised though since he didnt have a white spot on his head. My females are black. One has some red around her neck. Here is a pics.
I got 4 black sexlink babies in March. All were solid black with no white mark on their head.... so I assumed--and was told-- I got 4 hens. They are now about 7 months old. We are getting 3 eggs a day and one of our "hens" looks a lot like a rooster. We haven't heard any crowing or seen any...
