Black sex link pullets are black with red in the hackles. Black sex link cockerels are barred.I agree with Rhodebar Lover that the barred bird in the picture is likely a black sex link cockerel. The first is also a cockerel, maybe partridge Rock or Welsummer.i have black sex links and they are solid black with a little red on underside of neck feathers
Just curious - what characteristics does the barred cockerel have that makes you say sexlink instead of Barred Rock? Not trying to be argumentative, just trying to learn more.Black sex link pullets are black with red in the hackles.

The pattern on the wing - the darker primaries and the whitish pattern near the shoulder/elbow. IMHO to me It looks messier than the markings of a Rock. I could very well be wrong, I am far from an expert on barred birds.Just curious - what characteristics does the barred cockerel have that makes you say sexlink instead of Barred Rock?
