I am now fairly convinced this is infact a rooster. I mean I had a feeling for a while now that it was a rooster not a hen... that is the reason I posted this. BUT this right here sends it home
My RIR is a testy girl and does not like the barred rock at all. She pulled this feather out of him this morning. I saw the feather in her beak and right away had to go collect it because I when looking never saw any pointy feather but this is no mistaking this sucker is pointy LOL This was a saddle feather.

Well, the simple fact that it's a barred bird from a barred mother and a red father always meant it was a roo

true. I wish I had known that when I first got him LOL So much to learn LOL either way I just wanted to share the picture of the feather LOL I get to trade this guy for a hen Friday. YAY lol an already egg laying hen at that. LOL I can't have roosters where I live. The lady I got the chickens from swore she was a good hen picker... good at picking out who was a hen and who was a rooster when they were small... I got them at 4 weeks old... I got 5 from her.... so far I have had to swap out 4 of the 5 because they have turned out to be roosters LOL I am going to say it is safe to say she isn't a skilled chicken picker LOL Lucky for me though she is a nice person and has no problem swapping out roosters for hens. :O)

I checked your pics out. Very handsome guy I must say. I posted a couple days ago with pics. Would you come to my post about a day or two ago and tell me what you think of mine? LOL I'm hoping mine isn't a cockerel, but I too have the option to get him replaced with a hen if it turns out to be a boy!! I'm not allowed Roosters either I fell in love with mine though. I don't wanna replace it if its a boy. Hes only 6 weeks going on 7 so its difficult to tell. Ive been told from the friendly folks here that mine is a mix also. My post says Dominique or Barred Rock. mine has black legs n feet with a two colored beak lol Love it death!!!
