What sex and breed is this?

[midwestchickenowner]

This chick was listed as a Black Sex Link, but it looks nothing like the male or female versions of that breed's chicks. Could it be something else?

Where was it purchased? Can you get a clear picture of its back?

I got it at Tractor Supply

Update as it matures but I suspect you may have a male autosexing breed (such as a Bielefelder)

My mystery chick is now around three weeks old. I still don't know the breed or sex.

Eventually it will show its colors. With Tractor Supply and quality of help those chick bins are mislabeled and often consolidated with nobody knowing what is in them.

And you are correct. That is not a black sex link.

Around 5 weeks now. Rooster maybe? Plymouth Rock? Dominique? Something else?
