What sex is this??

[bbower]

We have two black sex links and I am curious to know
if one is a rooster. What is the difference? I don't know how to add a photo yet but I will email it to anyone that can answer my question. Thanks for the help.

How old are they? When they are chicks, the males have a white spot on their heads and the females don't. If they are older and all black, then they are females. Males will have barred rock coloring.

i can answer with confidence i breed black sex links.when they grow their feathers if they are an iridescent black ( black that has a green look when in the light.) it is a hen.but if it is black and white checkered like a barred rock it is a noisy crowing rooster

but a few black sex link hens are brown and black almost looking like a golden laced wyndote it is a hen too. a black sex link is when you breed a red rooster (rir) whit a barred hen (barred rock) (dominque) plz excuse my spelling :|

Thank you for your answers. After seeing the photos I see that I just have one very noisey pullet.

I know I was convinced I had a noisy pullet but are they supposed to have this much comb & wattle?? My other one doesn't have much and is so much quieter.

I will not question anyone about what I have anymore. It is in fact just a noisy pullet. We got another egg from her just a few minutes ago.

Woo hoo!!! That's why she was being noisy!! Even without knowing about the egg, that is definitely a pullet.

Congrats!!!

without the knowledge of the egg from the photo i deem that a hen and a pretty hen at that.good luck with your two pretty roosters

Very pretty pullet! Pullets and hens can have rather large combs and wattles. Laying eggs and feathers are the ultimate giveaway!
