ISA Brown guessing Roo?

[Gray Farms]

He is about 5 months old

"He" is a she then without a doubt. That's a pullet. Unusually large comb for a Red Sexlink though. She is getting very close to laying if she isn't already.

Pullet - hackle feathers only appear 'pointy' because of lacing, saddle feathers are rounded, no sign of sickle feathers. All that being said, I would be glad to take 'him' off of your hands.

ISA brown cockerels are Silver colored with some red showing on the shoulders, the parent stock of the ISA browns are: Sires are Red in color and the Dames are Silver, thus producing a sex linked cross, Silver males are discarded at hatch.

This is what they do with them.

Its coloring is very similar to the chimera... But I would expect at least some male specific feathers by now, which is odd.

Indeed! And the crazy part is when she gets around my Silver Leghorn rooster she puffs up and then they fight. I'm thrown off on this one 100% and very confused. A farmer friend also said a roo, but im getting both.

Lol thank you so much for the reply and your help, but we are keeping the chicken. My wife and I love them to no tomorrow!

My ISA Brown pullets have the exact same hackle feathers, both color and shape, as well as brown plumage with more white interspersed near the rear. Def a red/brown sex link female. As stated earlier, males are white with brown/red shoulder coloring. Should be an excellent layer.

Even personality wise, my ISA Brown pullets neck puff and challenge each other and my BJGs and Black Star all the time, they are quite interesting lol.

How old? A Red Sexlink cockerel should be mostly white with red shoulders.
