10 week barred rock, male or female?

[TheBarnettcoop]

Hi! New to backyard chickens and I bought 4 sexed “pullets” at 6 weeks old. Now at almost 10 weeks one of my barred rocks is developing a small wattle. Her comb is yellow-tipped and pink in color. Still a female or do I in fact have a male here? Any help appreciated! Thank you so much!!

Looks like a cockerel to me.

Give it some time. Had a couple look like that. They were my first layers.

Thank you all so much for your responses! I really appreciate it. I was hoping you’d all reassure me it’s a girl dang it! now to find a good home for him, My city doesn’t allow roosters. Wish i could keep him, he’s probably my calmest and cuddly chicken, I’m sad!

Oh really? That gives me some hope!! What should I watch for and at about how many weeks old? Don’t want to wait too long if I need to find him a new home. Thanks so much for response!

It has some definite growth. My cockerels have always been lighter color and more pronounced comb at 10-12 weeks.

I can't say either way right now.

Give it 2-3 weeks. Then give pics full body shot from a few angles.

Good luck! Hoping for pullets!

Can we get more pictures, maybe with different lighting. The comb looks like it’s male but the coloring doesn’t look right for a male.( At least if it’s a pure BR)
