5 week Barred Rocks-How many roosters do you see?

400


It's camera shy, but I finally got a better picture!
 
Hmm to be honest that one looks like a roo by the coloring to me.
**Disclaimer** I have Dominiques and not barred rocks so I could be wrong. However both breeds look almost the same when young but different comb types. Cockerels will have whiter and wider feather bars than pullets. Plus that one's comb is too red too soon. Pullet's combs stay a dullish pink till right before point of lay.

IF I was just looking at the coloring of this bunch, I'd lean towards just the 2nd one with lighter feathers being the rooster.

Have either of the questionable chicks started growing in saddle feathers yet?
