gender barred rock

I know it is too early to tell, but this chick has a lot of the visual markers that indicate it is male! This chick was vent sexed and labelled a pullet. Barred Rock male chicks have the following: 1) A large white spot on head 2) Less black on legs Barred Rock female chicks have the...

I have 4 Barred rocks, husband is sure they are all males. This one(one in the back) looks a bit different. Smaller comb and such but color is same.

Hi there! In April 2021 I bought two Barred Rock ‘pullets’, to add to my flock. Four months later, my two Barred Rock look a bit different from each other. One has a small pink comb, and the other’s wattles, comb, and overall face is completely developed and red! This morning, I saw my more...

I have seven chicks that I’d love help s3xing. They are all from the same hatch, are 4 weeks old, and all come from blue or green eggs. The barnyard mix included amaracauna to black copper marans, Sussex, Wyandotte’s, frizzles, barred rocks…

This is a partridge plymouth rock at approximately 6 weeks. I’ve had horrible luck with chicks turning into roos and the fact that this one has a comb starting freaks me out. However, it’s mostly yellow and I don’t really see any wattles forming yet so those seem like good signs. What’s your...

Hi everyone! I had posted about my barred rock supposedly pullet a couple weeks ago and got mixed responses on whether she was a pullet or cockerel. She is 7 weeks tomorrow and just wanted to hear your thoughts. My guess is pullet since that’s what we bought her as. Also she doesn’t look to me...

We didn't know that you could tell the sex when we hatched them. Here they are in their 4-5th week. I have been reading up but I am still unsure about them. Anyone want to guess?? My kids want to name them so bad. lol When I look back on when they were little, number 2 looked most like a rooster...

This is Oreo, my barred rock beauty. I was thinking she was a hen but her comb and wattle are pretty red and big. I don’t have a clue! I am a first time chicken owner and just wish I could get some of my chicks gender known. Don’t mind the dog in the background haha!

On the 16th evening to 17th morning of April, (approximately 3 days ago) I hatched 4 cute little barred plymouth rock chicks! (YAY!!!) :jumpy:jumpy:jumpy:jumpy And being the keen researcher I am, I fell into the rabbit hole of the hundreds of posts and videos on how to identify what sex the...

Hi everyone! I’m a long time reader on this site, but new to post! We purchased 4 chicks at the first of May. It was a man in my neighborhood who had gotten too many and needed to let go of a few. He insisted they were all female but he also said they were 6 months... which they absolutely were...

Hi guys! I am a total newbie when it comes to chickens. We have 7 chickens in total, all of which I thought were hens but......I was woken up by a scratchy little crow over the weekend. I have 2 Barred Rocks who I’m up in arms over, this seems to be a tricky breed to tell the gender on. Can you...
