I thought these were sex-links

[ebeagle35]

I picjed up seven birds in March from the local feed store. I was told they were all pullets, others told me they were likely red sex links. But now i have this chicken, full grown. All the other chickens have started squatting and we are getting 4 eggs a day out of 7 birds, they have been laying for about 3 weeks.what do you think, is this a roo or a hen?

If it has white feathers in the tail and/or wings then it is a sex link pullet. Squatting is not a way to determine sex. Even the best layers often only lay six eggs a week, so you shouldn't expect every bird to lay every day. Hope this helps.

Frankly, at that age I think it looks like a pullet because I don't think I see hackles, but a full body shot would help. Not necessary if it has white feathers though...

X2 on Toddrick; if it has white underfluff and white feathers in the tail, it's a Red Sex Link pullet. If there is no white underfluff and white feathers in the tail, then it is a Production Red and a full body profile is needed to enable us to determine its gender with 100% certainty.
