What gender is my black sex link chick?

[chickwithchick]

The chick is the only one that is starting to grow tail feathers as of now. Is that a good or bad sign?

Can be a good sign as females tend to feather in faster, but you'd have to compare a BSL to a BSL and not another breed as breeds mature differently.

It is probably a girl...just watch and wait to see if white stripes start in at the wings to indicate more barring to come.

So far no obvious signs of barring. Just noticed the legs are pretty dark which is a very good sign as barring also lightens the legs...

Update. Chick is now completely black. No signs of barring as of yet. My other one has gotten some different colored feathers.
