I think rooster. There is quite a bit of white on the feathers. My barred rock hens were mostly black with a hint of white. Also, In my own experience, the way he's craning his head up reminds me of my roosters. Such as the one in my profile pic

I agree. Im not sure about the color thing but usually if its little cone is that big then its a rooster. Well atleast thats how I guess mine when they are that little!!

Def has the rooster look to me...

Ugh. That's what I was afraid of. Got them from a 'pullet' bin at TSC, but noticed this one is looking just a little different than the others. I guess my next question is what are the barred plymouth roosters like? Aggressive? Docile? I only have 4 total, so would it be unfair to have a 3:1 hen/rooster ratio?

 

[Scout Finch]

Any other opinions?

How old is he/she?

 

[Scout Finch]

I got them from TSC on Good Friday...so I'm guessing about 2 1/2 weeks old now!

I've heard that the ratio for hen to rooster is 12:1
