Cockerel.

Cockerel.

Thanks! Good to know! Just curious, how come? Is it because of the comb? Or the neck? The neck does kind of look like the skinny little hackle feathers of a roo but my BR that I had had a huge comb and wattles so it through me off hahah

It should be sexed linked. He's barred.
He also has male feathering.

Ohhh I didn’t think about possibly being a sex link wouldn’t it depend what color the rooster was though?

Comb isn't giant, but combined with the wattles and the red leakage over the wing bow, cockerel.

If you cross a barred female to a non-barred male you will have sexlinks, males will be barred and females won't.

Oh okay that makes sense but I forgot about that

no but she did have a big comb back then too I think! But I lost the pics. But I remember at like 2 weeks I thought it looked big and she was standing all tall and everything and I thought she was a boy but with how red that comb is, this one probably is. I thought it was pale at first but it does look pretty red.
