Red Sex Link? Roo?

[jessg84]

I have a 9-10 week old red sex link. I’m starting to wonder if it is not a red sex link as it was labeled and if maybe it’s a roo?

It's a cockerel, but not a sex link. Where did you get him?

not a red sex link... That pea comb says buckeye. And yes, he's a cockerel.

I got him from a feed store. While I watched my other pullets more closely for signs of roo I didn’t really pay attention to this one because I thought it was a sex link. I have mostly heritage breeds and never had a sex link so while it developed differently I didn’t think much of it. But even at a few days old he reminded me of the last roo I had. He also definitely acts dominant over my other 3 pullets.
