Thanks for your responses!
Seeing him in person and not by internet photos, i am sure that my Zebu is a boy. I will be in shock if he is a she.
His legs do not look suspicious in person either. They are yellow with the shading like a barred rock.
It's mainly the barring, or lack thereof, that made me suspicious.
It shocks and appalls me that hatcheries would sell mutts, so i am going to assume he is a black sexlink.
It annoys me more, however, that the feed store person would order a straight run (i just found this out) and claim to be able to i.d. chicks she clearly can't i.d. I'm not sure anyone could've differentiated between this and a real barred rock at one day or 3 days or whatever. I know i couldn't. I think she made some assumptions about what the possibilities were, and i made a mistake by not getting more information about where these chicks came from.
Lesson learned, i guess.
Poor Zebu. I really like him.
