Hi, i got some new golden comet chicks and this one really screams roo...

Golden comets are red sex links. That is a pullet... if you have any white or mostly white golden comets, then those are cockerels

I was about to post the same thing. That's one of the handiest things about the sex links; nearly every type is extremely easy to determine the gender of as soon as they're out of the shell. Only ones like Dominique and Barred Rock are a bit more difficult.

Definitely a pullet. Here's an example of a red sex link pullet beside a cockerel (which a golden comet is a red sex link brand)

Then I must have a very strange pullet. She does the food calling thing and has quite large comb and wattles compared to the other 3. I was told they are golden comets which are a RIR roo over a RIW hen. Is it true that thats a sexlinkage and they said it was around almost 100% accurate.
Please be a pullet...

I had a silkie hen that always called her flockmates over for food. My older pullets do this as well. It's normal.
Yes.. RIR×RIW make red sexlinks (so long as the RIW has the silver gene).
Are all your chicks red or do you have any white?

What breed?

 

[thornito95]

I believe to be a red sex link of some sort. Not to big a boy either same size as my silver laced Wyandotte rooster not as big as my Rhode island red or barred rock

Quick question, will the golden comets produce sex linked babies when crossed with a black austrolorp rooster?
