CHICDAD- Looking to see what gender my Barred Rock is.

[chicdad]

This is a picture of my 7 week old Barred Rock. I know he looks big for "it's" age. I seen pictures of hens with crowns like this. Can someone help me out?

 

[Farrier]

At seven weeks I would guess male.

The darker, less defined barring makes me think female, but that is an awfully large comb for a 7 week old pullet.

It's a cockerel. Sorry. (

Although it does have pullet style barring, seven week old pullets never have combs that big.

x2! Barring isn't a sure sign of it being a rooster or hen. I have a hen who is mostly white, and I thought she was a roo for the longest time!

He//She is also big for it's age.
