Rooster or hen? How to tell?

[WarmChick]

I have a 14-wk-old BSL that I thought was a hen. But the other day s/he crowed! A full on cock-a-doodle-doo! I've read that hens can sometimes crow. How can I tell if it's a crowing hen or a roo? If it's a roo, we'll get rid of him.

the chicken in question is the pretty black & white BSL.

Black Sex Links are super easy to sex - that's the point of the "sex link" - those who are barred (black and white) are male - female BSL are black with a copper colored "collar"

Ok, I got it to enlarge.......

He is a rooster. Black sex link hens are black, roosters are barred. Sorry
