Hello all! I have an Amber link that I was pretty sure was a hen until my father in law brought my daughter a rooster. She (?) Challenged him first but it could be that she was at the top of the pecking order. I would love some help on if she is indeed a she and possible insight as to the breed of our new roo would be very appreciated!View attachment 1047883 View attachment 1047884 View attachment 1047885 View attachment 1047883 View attachment 1047884 View attachment 1047885 View attachment 1047887

Age and where did you get it?

She is about 8 weeks and we got her at the Tractor supply out or the straight run bin.

Any other guesses? Hen or cockerel?

That's a good bit of comb/wattle development for 8 weeks. I'm thinking cockerel. Amberlinks are bred for wing sexing so people who know what to look for can pick the females out of a straight run bin. Unfortunately, that means that people who come by afterward have much higher odds of getting a male.

So if I could get a pic of the wing spread out would that definitely be able to determine the sex one way or the other, or is it to late for that? I thought she had a fluffy hen butt, fingers crossed I guess!

The difference is super pronounced in the chicks when they're about a week old. Females have full flight feathers and males still have little stubs. The difference vanishes later but my fast feathering pullet was very obviously ahead until 12 weeks. She started her molt around 5 or 6 weeks.
