10 week barred rock - am I going to crow or lay an egg?

[poppycock1974]

So here's updated photos for the guessing game. Bought at a store with "pullets only" but the barring is a concern. Several people have posted hens with the same coloring and told me pullet but the tail feathers don't seem right. They have this thing on the end that seems like a sickle. I have to keep it for sure another week, maybe two but it would help to know.

That's a pullet.

your barred rocks more then likely gonna lay an egg.

Thank you. Those silly tail feather things confused me even more when I noticed them last night.

She looks like my BR pullet that's 7 weeks! Mine's a bit darker but the comb, tail and legs say pullet!

I didn't know yours was that young! See those crazy stringy things hanging from the tail? That's why I'm worried that it could be sickle feathers starting.

This is what made me think Rawr was a rooster, the curled saddle feathers! All the way until I accepted the fact that she was laying eggs too! haha!

Oh yeah, thought you're going to have to put your chicken in the Guinness book of world record for an egg layer before you found out that one was laying too.
