This is my 2 month old Barred Rock Bantam. Does any one know if this is a hen or a rooster?

Looks like a cockerel (rooster under one year) His comb is big and reddening, his wattles also. 

 

It's the shape that makes the breed, and the color that makes the variety.

I see feathered legs.. barred rock don't have feathered legs. Do marans come in bantam? Or he's a mix with a feather legged breed and barred rock.

He must be a mix then, the breeder we bought him from told us he was just a regular Barred Rock Bantam

Well it seems like the breeder wasn't giving true facts! He's very pretty.

I agree rooster at two months. He's not a barred cochin, so must be a barred rock mix, like a bantam bsl roo with a feather footed daddy?

Well, the kittens aren't so cute anymore and the easter egger cockerels are in the freezer. Plus, I think offering them as "prizes" scared folks off! So, I'm still posting quotes, if you know it let me know. I'm very enamored of this new one, it may hang around for a while!

He looks like a barred cochin to me, and cockerels at that.
