Why does everyone think this is a rooster? I'm on a learning curve for my own barred rocks.

Okay I think roo too.
Just a comment now: He has suck pretty orange legs and beak.

From the coloring of the barring.

Males look like this:

Females look like this: (she has more white in her barring now, she was young in this picture)

kecrow- First off, the color. Roos are gray and white, hens are darker, usually black and white. Secondly, super thick yellow legs. Hens would be a little more delicate looking. Thirdly...huge bright red comb and wattles! The hen would be more pink and smaller.

Hope this helped!
