7 week old barred rock, roo or pullet?

[Megalodon]

Hi guys, would anyone who has knowledge when if comes to sexing BRs be able to tell me if this chick is a roo or a pullet?

thank you!!!

The comb and feathered legs on this chick typically aren’t a trait of a barred rock. Perhaps a Malines or Mechel
if I had to guess I’d say rooster, though.

Oh really? wow! thats really unexpected!
We got another batch of chicks from the same lady about 3 weeks ago, same type of eggs. Could that mean that they aren't barred rocks either?

The rest of them look exactly the same as the above chick, just younger and without feathers on its legs. .That chick is the only one with leg feathers.

I'll have to do some googling and maybe contact the lady, but thank you @Pensmaster!

Interesting I’d definitely ask her if she has other breeds. The ones without feathers on legs might/should be barred rocks

Ok, so apparently the chicks are Plymouth rocks, not Barred rocks. I wonder why that one has leg feathers though, maybe an egg mixup? I will have to check....

At 7 weeks, I'd say cockerel. Interesting about the feathered legs. Let us know what breeds she has.

Yes, this is a barred rock:

Plymouth Rock and barred rock same bird

 

[Megalodon]

She has silkies and Plymouth rocks only, which really confuses me haha
Could he be a hybrid?
Would it be possible for a Plymouth rock and a Malines to mate and make him?
Either way, glad to know that he's a cockerel. He's awfully gentle

Plymouth Rock and barred rock same bird

Damn, now i'm just embarrassed. Thanks for letting me know, I would have continued to make a fool of myself haha

silkies have feathered feet....... plymouth barred rock/ silkie rooster is my guess.
