I was told this was a girl. It has a very red comb, were they right?

I got this chicken yesterday and was told it was a Silver Sussex 13 week old pullet. Is this correct as her comb is very red for such a young girl? Also she doesn't really look like the Silver Sussex that I have seen on BYC. She has feathers down the outside of her legs and the odd fleck in her feathers but is predominantly black. She has also got a bit of a greenish blue sheen. Please tell me she is a girl

Not a silver sussex (she's a mutt), but it *is* a girl!

That's a pullet.

Hen for sure! She could be part marans.....She's pretty!

She looks definitely like a pullet. I have 2 that look exactly just like her. Can't tell ya what breed....Black Somethings is all I can remember. Bought them from TSC in April. Her comb is red but will get MUCH BRIGHTER & REDDER as she matures. Mine also has a blue/green sheen in their feathers when in the sun light. If you find out exactly what breed I'd like to know.

She looks very much like my black australorps.

What color are her legs and feet? I don't know if she's a ba her eyes are really yellow. All my bas have dark eyes and are stunning green/blue . There looks to be a brown hue to the feathers? Maybe it's just the picture.
Aloe they have clean legs. So Shes a mutt then, unless some one knows a feathered leg breed.
