Is this a rooster Golden Laced Wyandotte?

I bought this little dear at Atwood from a bin labeled production pullets. They all looked the same then suddenly (s)he got this really big pretty comb. (S)he still makes henny sound but then so does our RIR roo. But we're sure about him

This one looks like all the rest of the girls, and is here for comparison

THIS is the one we're not sure about

That is a Black Sex Link hen.

not the right comb type... other than that I don't know

He's pretty though!

eta: just saw YOTR's post and I remember someone posting something yesterday wondering what breed they had and everyone said black sex-link. Yours looks exactly the same and since they're sex-linked you have a hen!

Hmm I though we were right about the Golden laced wyandotte part at least. Oh well. Thats why I pay ya'll the big bucks. Whats a black sex linked?

They are a hybrid bird made for production. They are produced from a RIR rooster over Barred Rock hens, with the male chicks having a white dot on their head and the females all black. As they get older, the males will be barred, and the females black with a varying degree of orange.
