Not Sure If You've Got A Pullet Or Cockerel? Click Here! Thread 2

Looks like you have a Black Sexlink cockerel.

They had a bunch of them in a tub labeled pullets... If she is a sexlink wouldn't they have known?

I checked when I first got her and she had the distinct female silkie wings so that's what I'm going on. I'm new to the chicken thing tho

I raised Silkies for years you won't know till she lays an egg or crows sorry

Got put in the wrong bin. Happens all the time. Black Sexlink pullets are black with gold. The males look like female Barred Rocks. But yours is too pink in the comb, too early on. That means it's not a Barred Rock pullet, but a male black sexlink.

So I just have a bossy hen. For laughs this is a rooster correct?

About 10 weeks.. the ones y'all are saying black sex link are 12 weeks and we have 2 barred rock and 2 red sex links that are 10 weeks as well

Sure looks like it, lol! How old?

About 10 weeks I think.. him and my 2 barred rocks and 2 red sex links are about the same age

This is one of the larger chicks. I have two that are identical.



Here are some pictures of the smaller chick .
Another view of the smaller chick.

Large chick appears to be male. How old?

Then definitely male. The last chick might be, but right now I'm leaning more towards pullet.
