I'm new to chickens and have 6 chicks and one, a barred rock, has hardly feathered out at all compared to the others. I've looked up the info on head spots, leg coloring, etc and still have no idea. I'm starting a small backyard flock and can only have hens, so I really hate to get attached to this little one if it's a roo that I can't legally have. Any insight would be appreciated :)

Here's pics from when the chick was approximately 2 days old, the day I bought at a feed store (supposedly sexed as hens)




And here's pics from today, will be 2 weeks old tomorrow.

Small, tight head spot, dark wash on the legs, small white bars on the wings---those things all say female.
