What breed and gender

[Denalynne]

This was supposed to be a black sex link but she/he is turning very gold. Now I don’t know if I was given that wrong one. I am getting rooster vibes. Hen or roo? Red sex link or other?

She looks like she's from the same gene pool as the ones in question above, and definitely looks like a pullet.

There are some really interesting 'black sex link' pullets out there this year. Do you happen to have a pic of her as a chick (down stage)?

Looks like an easter Egger pullet to me

Definitely a pullet. EE probably

Definitely looks like a pullet. But the straight comb would seem to indicate it's not an ee. There are some really pretty breeds with pullets that look similar. Also my gold laced birds looked similar when getting first feathers.

There are many ways to get an EE. One of them is through a legbar, a straight combed breed, which is also consistent with the crest

Good to know. I guess I am only familiar with the ones made from Americauna.

Americana is a fancy word for EE. Usually to make them sell better. Ameraucana is the breed you mean

It’s the little black one on the right and I am holding her about 2-3 weeks.
