Just curious as I am hoping for a boy!

I know time will tell...but wondered what the experts think. 😉

There is a dark wash on the legs, I think the feathering is kinda in between. Not quite gray, but not black either. Head spot...I don't know what it looked liked prior to feathering. I have 33 barred rock chicks and I didn't go abt any way of IDing them. I don't even think I'd be able to update this thread. Although this is the only chick I've noticed with a bent comb. The wattles are definitely red, and it looks like the comb is heading that way as well 🤞🤞

WOW, Bless your heart for wanting a Roo. Most of us on here are hoping for Hens and here you are wanting a Roo and it looks like a Hen. I was just happy to see someone for once wanting a male instead of the usual female like I am hoping for out of 6 ducklings that are undecided. Good luck finding the Roo you want.

Beautiful bird! Looks like a pullet to me so far, let me know when she gets a bit older.
