Black sex link gender

[AshleeW]

Hello! I have a 5 week old black sex link. Got her from tractor supply lol but her comb is more visible than others. Is she really a boy? She is smaller than my other sex link and so friendly.

If she's a black sex link (and does appear to be), she's female. The males will have completely different coloring- they would have barring.

She's just a faster maturing lady!

Okay thank goodness! Cause she is the sweetest and I can’t have roosters in the city!

Well then you chose your breed well because the benefit of sex linked chicks is that their coloring makes it obvious at birth whether they're male or female. Always do a quick Google search, though, when looking at chicks at Tractor Supply because mix ups can happen.
