Sexing Barred Rocks

[Tiddbit74]

The pics are good enough. I agree with you though, Mr. Stripey is definitely a roo and the others look to be pullets. I tell you, you did good to get 5 though. My luck with batches of 6 has not been the best. I usually end up with 4 roosters in the mix. :-( That is why I no longer do 6. I am very much an even number person, I like things in even numbers. I know, strange, right?! But I am now doing things in odds most of the time unless I am sticking a big batch of eggs in the incubator.

I was thinking the same. I guess I'll just wait and see what happens. I can handle one roo, any more and I'll have to start getting rid of them. Thanks
