7 wk Barred Rock - Pullet or Roo? Thanks bunches and Happy Mother's Day!

Hi everyone! Happy Mother's Day!
I finally got a pic of my lightest colored 7 week old Barred Rock (Lucy) that I have been guessing gender on.. She, (hopefully!), has the black on her legs.. but seems to be more evenly white/black than my other two.. Anyone want to take a guess? Thanks bunches!

My guess would be pullet. I'm in the same boat, my BR chicks are only 3 weeks old but one of them is considerably lighter and has a little dark wash on its feet but not much.
Good luck with the chicks!

Thanks bunches! We're hoping we got all girls... When we got them they were just a few days old... It's so hard to tell when they are young!

These are my 2 BRs 7 weeks old



, both have the dark on legs and feet. I've been told they are pullets and i'm hoping they are.

Oh they are so pretty Randy! Thanks for your reply! I was told mine were girls too! I'm just hoping that they were right.. =)

i was told after i got 3 BRs last year that if they have a white patch on the back of their head when they are a few days old they are roos. don't know if this is true or helpful, but that is what i was told. turned out, we had one roo. he did end up having bolder colors as they grew, and his comb grew faster.

Really! That is odd. I was told the opposite. That if they had the white spot on the back of their head that they were pullets. I don't own any now but I only had sexed pullets and they all had white spots. I didnt think what they told me was true, but I wasn't conserned that they werent pullets since they were sexed.
