Sex of Barred Rock Chick -- Millie or Milliard?

but I find the serrated comb more than a bit alarming -- none of the other chicks have one like this. ack. This chick is also the most assertive and bold.

This chick is the only BR I have; others in pics are BO, LORP, RIR and SLW. Pics taken at about one week old. Let me know if I can post better ones -- either clearer or better angles. I think some might be too close.

I think if it has black on the legs it's female.

Early to tell but mine had same comb and it's a hen.

I think Millie because i have heard if it has a spot on it head it is a female also it it has black on its legs.

Looks like a girlie!

No expert here but my two BR hens had little combs that looked just like that at the same age. I'm voting for Millie!

Girl!!

That one looks a bit more girly than boyish, however,
BOTH BR sexes have headspots, though they are a bit different from each other....
BOTH can have some black wash on their legs, but pullets usually have more all the way down the leg,
BOTH have combs like that, which is a normal single comb.

My best guess is hen.
