Rooster or Hen?

[Raekins]

This chicken is a few months old, they are all just starting to sound like real chickens now and Im thinking it looks like a rooster... It kind of has the curved feathers on the tail, what do you think?? The breed is Golden Sex Link.

You have a boy. The saddle feathers are coming in.

Yep, those long pointy saddle feathers are a dead give away... You've got a lovely cockerel.

With golden/red sexlinks, the males are always white with some red here and there, and the females are always red/golden.

You definitely have a boy

Looks like hes going up for sale gahhhh.
