I have no idea if this is a rooster or a leghorn because he/she reddened up quickly and I didn't think leghorns were a breed tractor supply had offered at the time but it looks so much like one. It is 9 weeks old and super friendly but I see the tail feathers arching a bit and that comb and wattle and think we have a roo here which is fine if hopefully he is the only one. He just started to get a few darker marked feathers in the last 2 weeks that were not there before and the comb started redening at around 5 weeks. What do you think?

Amberlink cockerel.
Tsc sells whatever they get.
Since they use hoover's hatchery and I don't see that breed in the catalog do you think it could be an Americana Cockerel? It looks like some of those photos in there. Either way thank you so much for confirming the cockerel! I hope he is quiet ;)

It's a sexlink cockerel, a gold or red sexlink, not an anericauna. :]
