Can I get a little sexing help here?

Hey Guys This is a follow up to some chicks I posted a while ago...

After having deciding to wait, these are supposed to be black sex link, but I'm starting to wonder if this is a roo or not.

any hints?
Thanks

That my friend is 100% male!!!

I've never been more positive of that roo being a male....

Boy for sure BUT it looks barred so it might end up actually being a black sex link. Just the male version.

Yeah looks like a barred Female, but crows like a male. The barred males I have seen are always lighter tho. I have 2 of these same color except the legs. The other has darker legs and and tail is slightly different. But waddle and comb are about the same.

BSL females are not barred, males are, that's how they can sex them early on pretty accurately. Definitely got a male there!

definitely a boy.
It's not a BSL. probably an Australorp.

It's how bsl work as chicks females are all black. They grow up black and get some rusty red.

Male chicks look like barred rocks chicks. Black with a white dot on their heads. They grow up looking like female barred rocks as far as coloring goes because they only have 1 barring gene. 2 barring genes would produce the lighter looking male Barred rock look.

Sex links make it easy to tell the gender at hatch.

Cool thanks for the info. I'm pretty sure these are not actually BSL (thanks to tractor supply who knows what I really ended up with heh)
