16 week Barred Rock???

[Eggcellent Adventure]

Hi...this one has a slightly bigger comb and wattles than some of the others...girl??? hopefully? 16 weeks...she and our rooster were bumping chests for a day...but now they hang out together..roost together, peck at the ground together etc. Would 2 cockerels be this close with each other? or is it pullet/cockerel behavior? Thanks.

At 16 weeks, you can be 100% confident that that is a girl.

My boy 1 week younger than yours.

ITs a girl. A boy would have huge waddles by now

That's a pullet for sure! A boy would have huge red wattles and comb.

This is my barred rock. Im not sure on his age. But I know he is no where near 16 weeks.
Boys tend to show their huge waddles at an early age. ​

I'd guess he's between 8 - 12 weeks old.
