I have a Barred Easter eggers and they came from my brown EE hens and my Barred rock roo .
i know for a fact that they are hens because they are laying.
all i know is what i have read. barred hens have to get the barring from both sides (b from mom and B from dad). This would mean...

well, Delaware are half BR making the offspring 3/4 and giving the females a 50/50 chance of being barred. if the daddy didn't have BR blood, there is no chance the female offspring will be barred.
It appears to be out of your EE which means it would be a roo unless your EE was also barred. hens must have barring from both parents. EE roos can be slow to show their masculine side.
