What am I? Barnyard Mix

[MEMama3]

I got this pretty barnyard girl and was wondering what breed(s) she might be. Anyone care to take a guess? She's 12 weeks old.

I just assumed black sex links were completely back. Now that I've googled I see I was wrong. Since she came from a barnyard mix instead of a hatchery, do you think she could be a first or second generation? I know they won't breed true, but would they still have that coloring?

probally a black sex link you can tell its a m or f so look up black sex link males and females hope this helped

I know it's a pullet, I was just wondering if sex link females have the same coloring in the 2nd generation since I know she's not a hatchery bird or a controlled breed.

No, sex links will not breed true for the 2nd generation, so there is little chance your girl has black sex link parents.

However, she could be a homemade black sex link. Our neighbors have a bunch of these gold and black birds running around: mothers are Barred Rocks and the father is a Buff Orpington. Your girl could be a 1st gen sex link of that kind of mix.
