I think I have a rooster

[MaryGrace1204]

I got 4 black sexlink babies in March. All were solid black with no white mark on their head.... so I assumed--and was told-- I got 4 hens. They are now about 7 months old. We are getting 3 eggs a day and one of our "hens" looks a lot like a rooster. We haven't heard any crowing or seen any mating, but this particular "hen" has a large cone/waddle, large yellow legs and pointed feathers around the neck. We just dont know for sure since the sexlinks are pretty much guaranteed to be a certain gender. I attached pictures. Thank you in advance for your help!!

Yes you have a rooster.
With black sex links males are barred and females are not.
What do your females look like?

 

[dunnmom]

Yeah, looks like a roo to me.

I was afraid of that. I am surprised though since he didnt have a white spot on his head. My females are black. One has some red around her neck. Here is a pics.

OMG I'm a total noob and can tell that is totally the most beautiful roo I've seen today.

I say that with total love and respect.

Your 'thinking' is correct. That's a cockerel.
