5 week Barred Rock Male or Female

[Mdd2020]

What do you think? Male or female? Larger than the silkie and blue laced red wyandotte around the same age. Comb much more pronounced.

I vote pullet. Barred rock males have more white barring. I also don't think the comb looks too red for 10 weeks. Of the breeds you mentioned, barred rocks are the only one with a straight comb so it will look more pronounced regardless of sex.

Correction. Only 5 weeks, not 10!

Thank you!

Only 5 weeks, not 10. Still think pullet?

They're pullets. Males have a lighter overall color because they have wider white bars than females.

Yes, still a Pullet, has all the signs of female.

I question whether they might be cuckoo Marans instead of barred rocks, because they seem to have white legs rather than yellow.
