First question are these barred rocks? Second question is, is this a hen or a cockerel? This bird is 10 weeks old.

Can i get some insight on this little chick? I bought "her" on 4/10/16 as a supposedly sexed pullet barred rock, and was suppose to be a couple days old.....so "she" isn't quiet 3 weeks yet. I am super new to chicks and this is our first time with chickens but something tells me this is a Roo and not a pullet... opinions???? Thank you!

I bought 8 other chicks but all different breeds... this one is feathering slower but not sure if thats a breed thing or not.

Given the amount of white showing up in the barring + that very pink comb and wattles at only 3 weeks...yeah, I'd guess cockerel. Also, all of my BR cockerels feathered out slower than the girls did.

I was afraid of that i will have to give him away if thats the case.... if i got a new BR would the 3 weekers kill it?? This one was picked out by my 5 year old
