Due to the barring and comb I'm going with pullet. She's cute.

I rang the co-op where I bought them & asked what breed they were & she said they were a cross breed of rhode island and something else she wasnt sure of..I live in australia & they breed out a lot of pure breds to get better egg layers...I think from when I got them to the time Ive had them they are about 6 weeks old now..

Here is a very informative link on Sex Links, it has a crosses section too.
