Pullet/hen depending on how old, but not a Roo. Barred Rock hens have fairly large comb and wattles compared to other breeds.

To answer your question above the barring is little different. Barred rock roosters compared to hens have more white. Here is a good comparison (not my pic, Dunlap hatcheries)
