Barred rock sex?

This is my black sex linked and a pic of the BR beside it. View attachment 3574065View attachment 3574066

Black sex link males and females look different. That’s what makes them sex links.

Black sex link cockerel

It’s a barred rock but yah

He only has one copy of the barring gene, which is why he’s darker, like a BR hen. You can also see the start of silver leakage coming in on his shoulders.

Pretty sure they would know what they bought though

Chickens are mislabeled all the time… that’s a huge part of why this forum exists.

It was definitely bought as a pullet but doesn't look like any of my other pullets. From browsing here it seems like I'm fortunate only 1 of 5 ended up being a cockerel.
