Help! Hen or Rooster?

[Tunruh95]

This black sex link is suppose to be a hen, she wasn't born with a blonde spot on her head and where we are we cannot have roosters so we're hoping that it's a she! She is very skittish around other chickens and is 14 weeks and hasn't crowed so any help will be appreciated thanks!

Perfect thanks for you help! What gave it away that easily? For future references?

A cockerel at that age would have much more growth and red coloration in it's comb and wattles, and would be showing some saddle feather growth.

Thanks for your help it's much appreciated!

Agree, she's a she. Black sex links are easy, the sex is linked to the color. No head spot means solid colored, and female. Head spot means barred, and male.
