I really hope so! Everyone keeps saying that it could be a girl still (which I'm still dumb founded by! Lol)

Yea I hope you get lucky

I know this has nothing to do with my question of what I posted, but this was just the most sweet and interesting thing I've seen. One of the 5 week old black star pullets is playing broody mommy with our 5 day old pullets. It's just so cute.

Huh, I guess it is possible that it’s a black sex link pullet. Time will tell.

Exact same thing happened to me. EXACT. Mine are 10 weeks old.

So the one with the super red comb and wattles, is it a girl or a boy?

Cuz actually, it doesn't really look like a black sex link. They usually have the red on the neck, not the wings. Or am I wrong on that? I have 2 black sex link adult hens and they only have it on their neck and head

I think it's a gender-specific thing for black chickens who have one red parent: females get red on the neck & breast, males get red on the wings.

But a male "Black Sexlink" should have white bars on his feathers (that's how the "sexlink" part works), so the black male with red in his wings must be some other cross instead.

Yes, the males are supposed to almost look like barred rock, but with red on the wings

Oh yes I see. However the color of his legs make me think he might be something else. Black sex link usually have blackish legs
