Is this really a pullet???

[dandrews1971]

I got a batch of chick awhile back who were supposed to be sex links. Now they LOOK like sex links. But theres one who looks much redder in the comb & wattles than all the rest. Theyre bigger & more developed & out of the 7 BSL's I have, this one looks different. Im just wondering now if theyre really sex links?

This is Nyx.


Also Nyx



By comparision, this is her sister Ebony, all 5 of the others I have look almost identical to Ebony.
They are all about 11 weeks old now.



Notice how pale her comb is & small the wattles are?
Is Nyx just developing faster? (HOPE!!!)

Need a full body pic and age

Looks like a Black Sex Link pullet. Some birds just mature faster than others. I could be wrong, though, especially only going off of a head shot. A full body shot, and the age of the bird, is needed.

There's almost always one girl who takes the lead in maturity. Happens every day with chickens and if I remember correctly, it happened back in Jr. High too. LOL

They are 11 weeks old. Ill grab another body shot in a few.

To the OP - yes, they look like Black Sex Link pullets. (males would be barred)

 

[dandrews1971]

Oh I know males are barred. My worry was they were not actual sex links, maybe just black mixes....I guess shell just develop faster. Shes also kind of the bit**y one of the group . So maybe shes going thru chicken puberty! lol

Do you have side views of the body? If they are truly 11 weeks old, that's an awful lot of comb growth on them.
