Can my sex link be a rooster?

[pdxmama]

This sex link is quite lighter in color than my other and has a much bigger and pinker comb. She/he is also pretty dominant around the feeder. Thanks for your opinions!

Yes, males feather in white with red on the wings. Do you see any red coming in on the wings?

we had a chicken that acted just like a rooster, keeping everybody in order, almost making crowing sounds, so we culled her. you notice i said her. when we were cutting her up we found little eggs in her

(she hadnt started to lay yet) on the bright side, it made us aware that we needed to build nesting boxes.

I ask about the red on the wings because if you're not sure it's a sex link, it could be a female of another breed. (like leghorn)

Hi-
the wings are getting a little bronzish... we bought it from a farm store, it was in the bin with the gold sex links.... i'll see if i can get a pic of the wings. they are almost 4 weeks old.

Unless you are positive you bought sex links, it's hard to tell.

I purchased RSL from TSC, and the roos did look a lot like this. But, there are also lots of other breeds that feed stores/TSC will sell that get mixed in and look like yours. Good luck, I hope you get what you're wishing for!

This is my first post! HI!

I also bought 2 golden sex links from my local store and they look exactly like yours. They are also trying to attack each other and seem to be more aggressive than the others. (I also bought 2 RIR, 2BR but one died, 2 BA, and 1 "Albino Ameraucana"-whatever that means)

Mine are 4 weeks. They also had a bin of leghorns, but they were very far from the bin of sex links. I am wondering if mine are also roos. I also worried that one of my RIR is a roo too.

That comb doesn't look very roo-ish yet.
I'm thinking it was a Leghorn that got mixed in the sexlink bin, but ya never know.
