19 and Two 16 Week Old Barred Rock Rooster Or Hens ?

[Ted_Harrell]

Too dark, white barring not wide enough, I vote all pullets...

I am still not sure whether the older 19 week old barred rock is a pullet, as it has a weird looking tail. Please see images.

Please again let me know what you think.

It still looks like a pullet to me.
By 19 weeks a cockerel should have very noticeable male saddle feathers, and she doesn't appear to have any

Thanks just wanted to be sure.

I had three pullets last spring who had me pulling my hair out trying to guess their sex One day I would be convinced they were cockerels, the next they looked like pullets
Eventually they all started laying eggs and I didn't have to guess any more lol.

Definetly a pullet. A male would look very different. That's just a one or two errant feathers.

Not one r

I have one 19 Week old Barred Rock, which I think is Rooster as it has arching tail feathers, but still has small comb, shouldn't roos at this age have a larger comb? Please see images.

I also have two 16 week old Barred Rocks, to which I have no clue whether they are male or female, I have read that females combs start to grow from 16 weeks, so I am not sure. Please see below.
