Is my chicken a rooster?

[bpoore04]

I know this is not a very good picture but it is the best one I have, I was wondering if you could help me figure out if my black sex-link chicken is a rooster. It is a little over three months old and it keeps “barking” (I don’t know how to put it into words) when we enter the coop. Please help and thank you

Looks like a point of lay Black Sex Link pullet. Also looks to be closer to 5 months of age.

I agree with @Brahma Chicken5000
Black sex link pullet at point of lay.

Thank you guys for your input. This chicken hatched on April 15th though is there anyway that it would already be getting ready to lay? I thought they laid eggs closer to six months of age. Sorry if I’m incorrect on this fact though I’m new to owning chickens.

Sex-links usually start laying sooner than 6 months.

My Black Sex-link is over five years old. She gives us a beautiful large brown egg almost every day! Yours is beautiful!!!

She is a beautiful black sex link pullet. The barking is likely just one of the wonderfully weird noises chickens can make. And believe me they can make a lot of them lol
