I'm VERY NEW with chickens but with all my research I thought the roos were mostly white? At 6 weeks here it looks to be a proud roo to me. I'll try to get a better pic later but the comb it really tall and really red.
Very good info for you right there!Did you get the bird, as a chick, from a hatchery or TSC type store?
A cockerel can be colored like that if people breed sex link to sex link. The coloration by sex is a one time thing. In subsequent generations, all bets are off. They are no longer sex links.
A Red Sex Link male is white with a bit of color on the back or wings, but not a very much. The females are mostly red with some white feathers.
