This has been my experience as well. I had a black sexlink with a huge comb for about 4 weeks before she came into lay. I knew she was a girl because of her coloring, but she still got a comb pretty darn quick!

Oh, if she's a sexlink then yes, pullet. Sorry, didn't see that! I've noticed that sexlink pullets often look rooish.

Sex-link just means that they are color sexable from time of hatch and throughout there entire lives. They are hybrid breeds. Any of the different varieties of red sex link will have red females and almost entirely white males. Black sex link females are solid black with gold breast/collars and the males look almost identical to a barred plymouth rock. ISA browns are a type of red sex link.
