4 week old White frizzle cochin bantam, roo or pullet?

Hi, I have 3 white cochin bantam frizzles. They're about 12 weeks old now, and my favorite birds! I have 1 roo, and 2hens, they all looked the same until @8 weeks, when suddenly the roo sprouted darker colored wattles, and comb. The hens look just like your picture, and they stay that way. The roo will get the bigger darker red head ornaments! They are so beautiful and fun. I named them Aremis, Daisy, and Lily. Ill try and send a photo.

sorry for such noobie questions, but what exactly is the sex link? is it the breed or a certain type of cross?

A sex link is a breed cross, usually Deleware/RIR, or something like that. The result is the males and females are different colors at hatch, so can be sexed easily. They are also good layers, but don't live as long.

Some of the sex links are bred to be wing sexed. So the feathers are longer or shorter on the different sexes.

Also, did your pullets have pretty pinkish red combs also like the roo. Since the chicks are white I didn't know if they will look more red than other chicks as they grow.
