What breed of chicken is this?

[tangle70]

We bought a strait run of Sliver Laced Wyandottes, Buff Orpingtons, Golden Comets, Rhode Island Reds and Americanas. This is our second batch of chickens (had some ISA Browns), so we are new. At 16 weeks, we have been able to figure out what breed each chicken is but one. Can anyone tell us what breed the below chicken is? Thanks

Was it white as a chick? If so it's most likely a Golden Comet Rooster, they are sex-linked so the Roos are white as chicks and the pullets are red/gold as chicks. I hope that helps!

Golden Comet is a fancy name for red sexlink and that's exactly what he is.

Yes he was. He was a funny little white chick that went around pecking the others all the time. Thanks for the info all. That was a big help.

My wife and I think he is the best looking one out of the bunch.
