I have a 3 week old Barred Rock chick whose sex has been hard for me to determine. They were sexed female when I ordered them but they hard a large head spot which lead me to believe they might be male, but now at 3 weeks old I'm wondering if it is indeed a female due to other identifiers, but I'm not sure if it's too young to tell, so I thought I'd ask here as this is my first and only Barred Rock so I really have no clue 😂 Their name is Pascal c:

Looks like a pullet. 😊
 
If it is indeed a barred rock, it has female coloring.🙂
Looking closer at your photos, looks like legs/feet are pink? In that case it is more likely a Cuckoo Marans.
The legs are yellow on the back, I ordered them from MyPetChicken as a Barred Rock, but if they end up being a Cuckoo Marans that's cool too, my husband just liked the barred pattern so we ordered them for the pattern more than anything 😂 I just hope whatever breed they are they're female so we can keep it 🥺

Barred Rock pullet then IMO.😊
 
Arent barred rocks sex linked?
It has the blavk in the legs which says female but the headspot is large which usually means male.
Do you have pics of head when you first got it?
