What breed is this?

[buhumphrey]

When I bought this from a local feed store it was marked as a Gold Sex link pullet. Yesterday we found it's starting to get spurs. I had been thinking for about 2 weeks it might be a roo by the way it was bullying others and some other behaviors it was displaying. Any way since it don't seem to be a Gold Sex Linked pullet can anyone help identify the breed?

might be a salmon favorelle? i have a hen that looks like this but darker.

That's a gold sex link cockerel.

Both sexes can get spur buds, btw. But that is for sure a cockerel and not a pullet.

Also definitely not a Faverolles, they have 5 toes and feathered legs.

Here is a picture of a gold sex link rooster... yours looks lighter.


If you got it at a feed store it might have been a mixed breed. All the ducks I got from TSC were mixes, but none of the chickens were.

That picture is a mature gold sex link hen ^ The roos are white with red on the wings.
That's not enough comb and wattle to be a roo, anyway.

Yeah really! There is no way that, that is a cockerel.

Griffensong is correct. That is unmistakably a Gold (Red) Sex Link cockeral. I don't know how it ended up in the pullet batch as they can be easily sexed upon hatching (males are whitish, females are reddish).

Perhaps an Amber Link? I have a pullet with the same colouring but her comb is much smaller right now and she is slowly getting more red all over.

The fist two are buttercup, younger and then last week. The last is of a cockerel that came with her.

Hi I'm not sure we're you are living but here in australia they call them Isabrowns. The hens are darker and the Roos are wite with the brown mark over the back. Here is a pic of one of my hens.
