Male or female Golden Comet?

[christina1982]

Is this a male or female Golden Comet?

This one is about 14-16 weeks old. No spurs, doesn't crow but looks like a male to me.

I thought that golden comets were color sex linked: the males are white, and the females red. I know the 6 golden comet pullets I got were all red.

It looks like you may have a rooster.

Even if that wasn't the case: Roo.

Being able to tell the sex at hatch by feather color is what a sex link, by definition, is.

It'll crow for sure. He's not golden, he's white with the stray brown feathering on the back. Is he the only one you have?

100% rooster. Golden Comets are a hybrid that can be sexed by color. Here's a link with a picture that shows the difference in roosters and hens coloring: http://www.welphatchery.com/EggLayerTypes/red_sexlink.asp
