Grr, she won't look at the camera. Goof. But see how much feather she has on her thighs?

Definitely a Black Sex-Link.

If she is growing orange feathers, then she's almost certainly a Black Sex-link. She's a cute little bird!

Sorry, double post...

there are some white feathers appearing on Choochie's face area. I was thinking that Choochie is a hen, but would these white feathers mean that Choochie is a roo?

I don't think so. Many black chickens have some white feathers. She may even molt them out as she gets older.

Nope, I still think she's a hen, as only female Black Sex-links have reddish feathers. Males are barred. Lots of black birds have some white in them, especially when they are young.

She's a beautiful hen! Judging by comb size, I'd expect eggs in a couple of weeks.
