🐥Barred Rock: Hen or Roo?

90% accuracy rate is what the hatcheries advertise, but judging from the masses of posts in here where people have unexpectedly gotten a cockerel, I have to question that. Also, sometimes TSC will mix straight run chicks with sexed pullets. So it is not always the fault of the hatcheries.

If you can keep him he may turn out just fine. Some roosters do, some don't. It's really the luck of the draw.

Yes, I’ve read about the accuracy rate. I never knew that I’d be the one to get that slim chance haha

I am planning on keeping him, since I’ve always wanted to have a roo.

maybe, in the future, I can cross breed him with my golden comets and leghorns

It's always fun to see what the offspring of crosses look like. I'm glad you're giving him a chance!
